title: The use of neural nets to combine equalization with decoding for severe intersymbol interference channels.
abstract: This paper deals with the problem of combining equalization with decoding in channels which have severe intersymbol interference. A multilayer neural net structure is proposed to achieve the process of equalization and decoding simultaneously. Experimental examples show that this method results in a substantial improvement over the more conventional methods of performing equalization and decoding.
