Methods and apparatus for decision feedback equalization with dithered updating

摘要

Methods and apparatus for decision feedback equalization with dithered updating are disclosed. An example method to equalize a received signal sample representative of a digital quantity disclosed herein comprises selecting a slicing level from a plurality of slicing levels to detect the digital quantity represented by the received signal sample, and deciding whether to update the selected slicing level based on whether a previously determined pseudorandom number of signal samples were received before receipt of the received signal sample and after a previous slicing level update.
