Time-dispersive channels can cause intersymbol interference (ISI). For example, in a multipath scattering environment, the receiver sees delayed versions of a symbol transmission, which can interfere with other symbol transmissions. An equalizer attempts to mitigate ISI and thus improve the receiver's performance. This chapter describes the equalizer features of the Communications Toolbox, in the sections listed below.
