A 5Gb/s Speculative DFE for 2x Blind ADC-based Receivers in 65-nm CMOS

This thesis proposes a decision-feedback equalizer (DFE) scheme for blind ADC-based receivers to overcome the challenges introduced by blind sampling. It presents the design, simulation, and implementation of a 5Gb/s speculative DFE for a 2x blind ADC-based receiver. The complete receiver, including...
