ASIC Implementation of Linear Equalizer Using Adaptive FIR Filter

1. Introduction

The paramount role of battery-powered gadgets, portability are more in need for low-power, high throughput electronic devices. This is mainly for gadgets such as 3G/4G mobile phones, laptops and other wireless communication data enabled devices which need more powerful computation and real-time signal processing capabilities. As bandwidth for wireless communications systems continues to be a limited resource, the improvement of unique technologies that are more effective or can change parts of the spectrum that have already assigned. At the same time, these unique devices are expected to view higher data transfer rates, have lower power requirements and service many users at a time. This time averaged power consumption in particular, needs critical consideration during design of portable wireless gadgets as it has a direct effect on the battery weight and volume required for operation. The performance of conglomerate systems which promote wireless communication requires the need of efficient and flexible cores for their equipment. Equalizers are used to compensation of amplitude and phase dispersion which results in the interference of transmitted signals with one another.
