Abstract

The maximum-likelihood (ML) receiver for binary data, additive Gaussian noise, and nearest-neighbor intersymbol interference (ISI) is shown to be a matched filter followed by a feedback loop and a tapped delay line. The loop and the tap connections contain nonlinear amplifiers, each saturating at the level of the ISI. This receiver minimizes the persymbol probability of error P <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">e</inf> ; upper and lower bounds on P <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">e</inf> are obtained. The mathematical receiver specifications for multilevel data and for extensive ISI are given; an approximate structure for the latter receiver is presented as an intuitive extension of the binary, limited ISI structure.
