Abstract
The performance of decision feedback equalizers (DFE's) working on a noiseless channel with correct tap weights is studied. We show that the space of channel parameters can accordingly be partitioned into a finite number of sets. The error recovery performance of a DFE is the same for all DFE's within one such set, and is determinable. We also discuss some tight bounds for recovery time statistics, which are particularly important when the number of equalizer taps is not small. We argue that minimum phase or near minimum phase character for the channel does not necessarily guarantee short recovery time.
