In a waveform equalizer for a communication apparatus, a magnetic recording apparatus, or an optical recording/reproducing apparatus, a feed-forward filter (FFF) is provided and, at a subsequent stage, a decision feedback equalizer (DFE) or a fixed delay tree search/decision feedback equalizer (FDTS/DFE) employing FDTS for a determination unit is provided. Partial response (PR) is performed on only a first portion of inter-symbol interference (ISI) of a waveform equalized by the FFF and equalization that does not consider subsequent response (i.e., trailing-edge ISI) is performed. A feed-back filter (FBF) generates a response for the trailing-edge ISI and the DFE structure subtracts the generated response from a response provided by the FFF so that a result becomes a partial response.
