A Novel Analog Decision-Feedback Equalizer in CMOS for Serial 10-Gb/sec Data Transmission Systems

This dissertation develops an unclocked receiver analog decision-feedback equalizer (ADFE) circuit architecture and topology and implements the circuit in 0.18-um CMOS to enable 10-Gb/sec serial baseband data transmission over FR-4 backplane and optical fibre. The ADFE overcomes the first feedback-l...
