Abstract
A novel receiver having a decision feedback equalizer is disclosed. The decision feedback equalizer is equipped with a feedback section to generate a feedback signal. The feedback section includes a plurality of taps to successively delay a filtered version of an input signal of the decision feedback equalizer.
