 Systems and methods for multicarrier modulation using multi-tap frequency-domain equalizer and decision feedback - ...
At the other end of the communication path, the N time domain values are accumulated and transformed via a Fourier transform to recover the original M symbols after equalization of the transformed data to correct for the attenuation and phase shifts that may have occurred in the channels.
Alternatively, the disclosed intersymbol interference reduction system may be implemented partially or fully in hardware using standard logic circuits or VLSI design.
The intersymbol interference reduction system can also be implemented by physically incorporating the system and method into a software and/or hardware system, such as the hardware and software systems of a communications transceiver.

 Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
where the symbols are relatively long compared to the channel time characteristics) suffer less from intersymbol interference caused by multipath, it is advantageous to transmit a number of low-rate streams in parallel instead of a single high-rate stream.
Since the duration of each symbol is long, it is feasible to insert a guard interval between the OFDM symbols, thus eliminating the intersymbol interference.
Intersymbol interference can be avoided if the multipath time-spreading (the time between the reception of the first and the last echo) is shorter than the guard interval, i.e.

 System and method for self-adaptive maximum likelihood sequence detection - Patent 6134277
It is a further object of the present invention that the aforesaid improved technique determine the transmitted symbol sequence without using a training sequence to estimate the channel coefficient parameters that are used to model the unknown intersymbol interference (ISI).
As discussed, dynamic programming techniques for resolving intersymbol interference (ISI), such as Viterbi algorithms, are not feasible for implementing sequential self-adaptive equalization techniques, where the channel coefficients are unknown.
As is understood to one skilled in this art, a larger value of L implies a greater length of intersymbol interference for analysis.

 Demodulation of Cochannel QAM Signals
This paper proposes a method for improving the performance of a single-input QAM demodulator in the face of cochannel QAM interference by jointly estimating the desired (primary) signal and the interfering (secondary) signal.
The specific cochannel interference scenario under examination was generated by summing a simulated QPSK signal with a second cochannel QPSK signal and white Gaussian noise.
The SIR of the primary (desired) signal with respect to the secondary (interference) signal was 7 dB and the SNR of the primary signal was 30 dB.

This eliminates not only the residual interference, but also notch induced ISI from the equalizer output and results in a much cleaner output polar plot, which is shown in Figure 7(c).
The hybrid system is capable of nulling directional cochannel or multipath interference while equalizing residual intersymbol interference not removed by the combiner.

 CiteULike: Linear unbiased data estimation in mobile radio systems applying CDMA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
In mobile radio systems applying CDMA, multipath propagation leads to intersymbol interference (ISI) and together with time variance, to cross interference between the signals of different users regardless of whether the user codes are chosen orthogonal or not.
A linear unbiased data estimation algorithm is presented that eliminates both ISI and cross interference perfectly by jointly detecting the different user signals, leading to unbiased estimates of the transmitted data symbols.
By theoretical analysis and simulation, the performance of the linear unbiased data estimation algorithm is examined under the assumption that the radio channel impulse responses are known at the receiver.

The material is divided into three major chapters, one covering the Interference Mitigation methodology, the other Interference Suppression techniques and the last one contains examples of practical cancellers, which can be implemented in real world designs.
Interference is considered, in this context, as any signal which may cause unacceptable information signal reception.
Thus, we analyze the interfered with systems under the influence of additive noise, co-channel interference, adjacent channel interference, intermodulation, intersymbol interference, non-linearities, as well as fading.

 Numerically Efficient Fourier-Based Technique for Calculating Error Probabilities with Intersymbol Interference
We propose a numerically efficient technique for calculating the probability of symbol error for arbitrary coherent modulation schemes in the presence of intersymbol interference (ISI) and additive noise.
The probability of error is formulated in terms of an inverse Fourier transform of the windowed characteristic function of the random variable representing the interfering symbols and the noise process.

 DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE OF MULTICARRIER CDMA SYSTEM IN FREQUENCY SELECTIVE RAYLEIGH FADIND CHANNEL
As MC-CDMA is developed as a combination of DS-CDMA and OFDM (Orthogonal frequency division Multiplexing), the need for OFDM to increase capacity and to reduce intersymbol interference on binary data communication system is also discussed.
This phase shift in the frequency domain can be represented as a sync function.As sync extends upto infinity,there is a huge probability of intersymbol interference between adjacent bits.This scheme is also not suitable for frequency diversity.The period of the sync nulls are separated at a distance of  symbol frequency.
The intersymbol interference can be removed by introducing certain guard bands between the subcarriers.

 Digital Distortion Caused by Traveling-Wave-Tube Amplifiers
In particular, intersymbol interference caused by the TWTA becomes a major consideration for accurate data detection at the receiver.
Experimentally investigating the effects of the physical TWTA on intersymbol interference would be prohibitively expensive, as it would require manufacturing numerous amplifiers in addition to acquiring the required digital hardware.
In addition, digital signal performance, including intersymbol interference, was compared using direct data input into the MAFIA model and using the system-level analysis tool SPW for several higher order modulation schemes.

The term interference is used when this extraneous signal has a more deterministic structure-like 60-cycle hum on a TV set.
In particular, to lessen intersymbol interference the bandwidth of the Transmission Medium must get larger in relation to the Source's generated bit rate, R BPS.
However, the effect of noise and interference originating outside the link is far less than with competing choices for the Transmission Medium, candidates like shielded or unshielded twisted pair cable or coaxial cable or free space microwave radio.

 GSM Physical Layer Modulation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
It happens that with lower time-bandwidth products the pulse is spread over a longer time, which can cause intersymbol interference.
In the GSM standard a time-bandwidth product of 0.3 was chosen as a compromise between spectral efficiency and intersymbol interference.
With this value of WTb, 99% of the power spectrum is within a bandwidth of 250 kHz, and since GSM spectrum is divided into 200 kHz channels for multiple access, there is very little interference between the channels [2].

 Intellectual Property Office - Technology Detail
The need for blind equalization (deconvolution) arises in a number of areas such as digital data transmission, echo cancellation, seismic deconvolution and image restoration.
The success of high data rate transmission over bandlimited channels depends critically on the ability of the receiver to adequately remove intersymbol interferences (ISI) without a "training sequence".
Thus the key to the development of a blind equalizer is to design the rule of adjustment such that the ISI is minimized with no knowledge of the specific values of the channel input, only the channel output.

Once, because it corresponds to no symbol interference, and twice, because it is not physically realizable.
To have no intersymbol interference, the equivalent Nyquist bandwidth characteristic which can be obtained in this way must be rectangular.

 Raised Cosine FIR Filter Design with ScopeFIR
Raised Cosine filters are commonly used in digital data communication systems to limit Intersymbol Interference (ISI).
This is due to the number of filter taps we chose (47); we could have used more taps if more attenuation was desired, but that would have resulted in more calculations and more delay through the filter; in this application, 47 taps was deemed to be a good compromise.
This illustrates that even with the correct filter, Intersymbol Interference can occur if the symbol sampling synchronization is not correct.

This can expand the amount of data that must be written by about one percent to as much as 12.5%, depending on the RLL code used.
To ensure that the waveform is close to this target, a combination of fixed and adaptive filtering is applied to the readback signal.
That is, it is less likely that a common pattern, (e.g., a control character, space, carriage return) that might be a difficult pattern to detect will appear over and over, thereby degrading the bit error rate.
