Block iterative DFE for single carrier modulation

An iterative block decision feedback equaliser (IB-DFE) for single carrier modulation is proposed. Filtering operations are implemented by discrete Fourier transforms (DFTs) which yield a reduced computational complexity, for both filter design and signal processing, when compared to existing DFEs. Moreover, the new IB-DFE operates on blocks of the receive signal, thus allowing the use of error correction codes on the feedback data signal
