The conventional decision feedback equalizer has a drawback that can't decide symbols correctly because a simple, slicer is used as a symbol detector. A decision feedback equalizer as a symbol detector uses a Trellis Coded Modulation (TCM) decoder whose Trace Back depth is 1 (TBD=1) to thereby decide symbols , correctly without decoding delay.

Why it's free to use
- Filed February 11, 2004 and granted February 5, 2013. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended February 11, 2024.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by February 11, 2026.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
