An apparatus for maximum likelihood signal detection comprises a reference data unit, a branch metric unit, an add-compare-select unit, a path metric unit and a path memory, and is used for detecting maximum likelihood signal. The reference information unit, the branch metric unit, the add-compare-select unit or the path metric unit can further comprise a multiplexer to removing unnecessary paths according to a control signal. The control signal is adjusted according to channel response, coding constraint or channel memory length. |
