19 .. the same scheme was tested on CAT- 6 (ISI) channel.

20 TCM + DFE : Conventional structure (4-D TCM) Viterbi Decoder {Decoded} Output {Rx} : From channel FF DFE FB

21 TCM + DFE Results (CAT- 6 Channel)

22 TCM + DFE over CAT- 6 Channel After examining various possibilities, it was found to be caused due to the error feedback and subsequent propagation in the FB section of the DFE. This was confirmed by feeding back the correct symbols.

23 TCM + DFE : Correct Symbol feedback {Rx} : From channel FF TCM Viterbi Decoder {Decoded} Output Correct (Transmitted) Symbols fed back FB

24 Correct Symbol feedback : Results

25 Joint Equalization and Decoding : SPFE The success of correct symbol feedback prompted us to place the decoder inside the DFE loop. This scheme of implementation is called the Survivor Path Feedback Equalizer (SPFE).

26 Survivor Path Feedback Equalizer {Rx} : From Channel FF TCM Viterbi Decoder {Decoded} Output FB 8 Surviving paths Fed Back Each surviving path in the trellis is considered as a possible Tx 1 st symbol has no pre curser ISI, if detected correctly, it can correct the ISI in 2 nd symbol and so on

33 Summary Using recent ANEX measurements, there is every indication that 10Gbps transmission over 100m of CAT-6 is possible, given a target average BER of Since performance is ANEXT-limited, ANEXT specifications need be finalized ASAP.
