Slicing algorithm for multi-level modulation equalizing schemes
First Claim
1. A method for slicing a received signal, comprising the steps of:
- receiving a signal representing one of a constellation of ideal signal points in a planar signal space, the received signal being at a point in the signal space; and
assigning to the received signal a decision point having a predetermined magnitude and an angle representing a corresponding ideal signal point.

Abstract
A method for slicing a received signal includes the steps of receiving a signal representing one of a constellation of ideal data points in a planar signal space, the received signal being at a point in the signal space, and assigning to the received signal a decision point having a predetermined magnitude and an angle representing a corresponding ideal signal point. A slicer includes a source for receiving a signal representing one of a constellation of ideal data points in a planar signal space, the received signal being at a point in the signal space, and circuitry, coupled to the signal source, for generating a signal representing a decision point having a predetermined magnitude and an angle representing an ideal signal point corresponding to the signal point.
