DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nMultilevel signaling has extended the lifeline of 
 wireline signaling beyond 100 Gb/s. But it’s SNR penalty has mandated mu
 ch more sophisticated equalization that is more suitable for digital imple
 mentation. This presentation aims at bridging the gap between well-underst
 ood analog/mixed-signal solutions and today’s DSP-based solutions. Start
 ing from traditional analog architectures\, this talk will walk through th
 e evolution toward today’s DSP-based equalization and provide the backgr
 ound for tomorrow’s sequence decoding.\n\nMasum Hossain (M’11) receive

 Multilevel signaling has extended the lifeline of wireline signaling beyon
 d 100 Gb/s. But it&amp;rsquo\;s SNR penalty has mandated much more sophisticat
 ed equalization that is more suitable for digital implementation. This pre
 sentation aims at bridging the gap between well-understood analog/mixed-si
 gnal solutions and today&amp;rsquo\;s DSP-based solutions. Starting from tradi
 tional analog architectures\, this talk will walk through the evolution to
 ward today&amp;rsquo\;s DSP-based equalization and provide the background for 
 tomorrow&amp;rsquo\;s sequence decoding.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;spa
