DESC:EARLIEST PRIORITY DATE:

FIELD OF INVENTION
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the field of communication and more particularly to a system and a method to enable joint adaptation of a feed forward equalizer and a decision feedback equalizer.
BACKGROUND
An equalizer is a device that may be used to reverse distortion incurred by signals while being transmitted through a channel. In digital communication, the equalizer may be used to reduce inter-symbol interference. The equalizer may include at least one of a linear filter and a non-linear filter. The equalizer provides a way for reproducing frequency domain attributes of the signals at a receiving end of a channel corresponding to the frequency domain attributes of the signals at a sending end of the channel.
When equalizing wireline channels such as SerDes receivers including both feed-forward equalizer (FFE) and decision feedback equalizer (DFE), several problems may arise. One such problem involves the equalization provided by the FFE dominating the equalization provided by the DFE which may reduce an eye margin of the signal along with an introduction of high frequency noise in the channel.
Hence, there is a need for an improved system and a method to enable joint adaptation of a feed forward equalizer and a decision feedback equalizer to address the aforementioned issue(s).
