Abstract
In a transmission system digital symbols are transmitted by a transmitter via a channel to a receiver. The receiver comprises a first detector and a second detector with different decision levels. In the case of an unreliable input signal of the detectors, the sequences of detected symbols at the outputs of the detectors may differ. By checking the sequences of digital symbols on code rule violations, the most likely sequence of detected symbols can be selected by a selector and passed to the output.
