Realization of an integrated equalizer for a 16 QAM/140 Mbit/s digital radio link

This paper is the presentation of an ASIC performing equalization for a new digital radio link using a 16 QAM modulation scheme. The use of equalizers in such equipment is more and more necessary, as modulation patterns are growing more and more complex. In addition, digital implementations of a signal processing are now preferred, rather than having to cope with problems due to analog realizations.<
