Equalizer with a convolutional decoder

摘要

The apparatus has an input of a number of successive observations which form convolution coded data. The received observation data are regrouped (41) to form vector observation data formed from a number of different individual vectors. The regrouped vectors are fed into a processing unit (43) which performs equalisation and decoding operations to form an estimate of the data sources within the assembly of source data. The observations come from at least different sources.
