This paper presents an inductorless 8-Gb/s adaptive passive equalizer with low-power consumption and small chip area. The equalizer has a tunable RC filter which provides high-frequency gain boosting and a limiting amplifier that restores the signal level from the filter output. It also includes a feedback loop which automatically adjusts the filter gain for the optimal frequency response. The equalizer fabricated in $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS technology can successfully equalize 8-Gb/s data transmitted through up to 50-cm FR4 PCB channels. It consumes 6.75 mW from 1.8-V supply voltage and occupies $0.021mm^2$ of chip area.

The equalizer compensates a signal distorted by transmission lines and amplifying stages, so the signal can have uniform characteristics over all frequency range. The equalizer in ODD(Optical Disc Drive) improves the stability of the extracted clock from a received signal and the readability of an inserted disc by suppressing noise and ISI(Inter-Symbol Inference). The length of marks-spaces and track pitch on discs becomes shorter as the recording density of an optical media is higher, which causes noise and ISI. And, the sensitivity about the fluctuation of physical systems is higher as the optical devices become more complicate. This paper proposes a method to select the coefficient of built-in equalizer of ODD in order to maintain the quality of signals against noise and ISI caused by system fluctuation.

This paper presents the design of a narrow-band channel filter and its group-delay equalizer for a Ka-band satellite transponder. We used an 8th order channel filter for high selectivity with an elliptic-integral function response and an inline configuration. We designed a 2-pole, reflection-type, group-delay equalizer to compensate for the steep variation of the group-delay at the output of the channel filter, keeping the thermal stability at ${\pm}7$ ns of group-delay variation at the band edges over 15-55$^{\circ}C$. We devised a new tuning technique using short-ended dummy cavities and used it for tuning both the filter and equalizer; this removes the necessity of additional tuning after the cavities are assembled. Through measurement, we demonstrate that the group-delay-equalized filter meets the equipment requirements and is appropriate for satellite input multiplexers.

In this paper, an efficient time domain equalization algorithm for discrete wavelet multitone(DWMT) data transmission is developed. In this algorithm, the time domain equalizer(TEQ) consists of two stages, i.e., the channel impulse response shortening equalizer(TEQ-S) in the first stage and the channel frequency flattening equalizer(TEQ-F) in the second stage. TEQ-S reduces the length of transmission channel impulse response to decrease intersymbol interference(ISI) followed by TEQ-F that enhances the channel frequency response characteristics to the level of an ideal channel, hence diminishes the bit error rate. TEQ-S is implemented using the least-squares(LS) method, while TEQ-F is designed by using the least mean-square(LMS) algorithm. Since DWMT system also requires of the frequency domain equalizer in order to further reduce ICI and ISI the hardware complexity is an another concern. However, by adopting an well designed and trained TEQ, the hardware complexity of the whole DWMT system can be greatly reduced.

잡음환경이 열악하고 대역폭이 부족한 HFC 망 상향채널에서 보다 나은 대칭형 멀티미디어 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 S-DMT 방식의 상향 채널 케이블모뎀을 위한 등화기를 설계하고 그에 대한 성능을 평가하였다. 주파수 영역 등화기와 시간 영역 등화기를 설계하였고, 각 경우에 대해 AWGN, ISI, 및 임펄스 잡음 환경에서 시뮬레이션을 통해 성능을 평가하였다. 성능 평가 결과, 잡음환경에 의한 성능차이가 있으나 두 경우 모두 비교적 양호한 등화 성능을 보였으며 시간영역에서 등화기가 주파수영역 등화기보다 전 Eb/No 범위에서 약 1dB 정도 성능이 우수함을 확인하였다.

In this paper, a multi-module selective battery equalizer for series-connected Li-ion battery pack is proposed. Selective Equalizer (SE) scheme achieves smaller volume and lighter weight than individual cell equalizer (ICE) by minimizing the part count of bulky circuit element. However, SE scheme shows slow balancing speed when the voltage imbalance simultaneously occurs in more than one cell. The proposed multi-module overcomes the problem by employing multiple power converters. Prototype hardware is implemented and experimented with 14Ah battery cells to validate the performance of the proposed equalizer.

This paper discusses a blind equalization technique for FIR channel system, that might be minimum phase or not, in digital communication. The proposed techniques consist of two parts. One is to estimate the original channel coefficients based on fourth-order cumulants of the channel output, the other is to employ RBF neural network to model an inverse system fur the original channel. Here, the estimated channel is used as a reference system to train the RBF. The proposed RBF equalizer provides fast and easy teaming, due to the structural efficiency and excellent recognition-capability of R3F neural network. Throughout the simulation studies, it was found that the proposed blind RBF equalizer performed favorably better than the blind MLP equalizer, while requiring the relatively smaller computation steps in tranining.

To investigate the equalizer performance in underwater acoustic communication m the presence of intersymbol interference (ISI) due to multipath, computer simulations are carried out in discrete multipath shallow water channels for three different horizontal ranges. For the purpose of computation simplicity, least mean square (LMS) algorithm is adopted both in linear equalizer and nonlinear equalizer, decision feedback equalizer (DFE) to cancel out ISI effects. Binary phase shift keying (BPSK) signals have been transmitted with high data rate of 2000bps through the use of equalization technique. The results demonstrate that equalization is an efficient way to achieve high transmission data rate in the shallow water channel.
