Abstract
An estimator of the noiseless output of a noisy partial response channel is described. The estimator operates recursively. In each iteration, the estimator processes a window of the N most recently received noisy channel outputs to compare output level metrics for all possible channel output level, and selects a noiseless output level with maximal posterior probability.
