Abstract

The paper elaborates an efficient algorithm for optimization of joint Feed-Forward Equalization (FFE) and Decision Feedback Equalization (DFE) for non-return-to-zero (NRZ) and 4 level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM-4) signals using Bayesian Machine Learning approach previously introduced for NRZ by authors and expanded for PAM-4. A new optimal covariant function and hyper-parameters has been selected for the Bayesian optimization. Cost function for the Bayesian optimization is chosen based on eye height. The proposed method was compared to the conventional Least Mean Square (LMS) method and showed significant improvement. Test cases were performed for several data rates of NRZ and PAM-4 signals with crosstalk and injected jitter. Test results show that the proposed algorithm is the more effective the higher data rates are considered.
