Sk. Mak et Ah. Aghvami, DETECTION OF TCM SIGNALS ON SEVERELY DISTORTED CHANNELS USING SURVIVAL PATH FEEDBACK EQUALIZER, Electronics Letters, 30(2), 1994, pp. 102-104
A new technique for detecting trellis code modulation signals in sever
ely distorted channels is proposed. This technique is based on feedbac
k of the survival paths from the Viterbi decoder and the equaliser use
s these survival paths to update the branch metrics of the decoder. Si
mulation results clearly show that the system performance is significa
ntly improved.
