Dear Experts, I need to run some channel simulations, and the SPICE models don't seem to work together. While I'm working on a solution I would like to run a statistical channel simulation using generic driver models in ADS. These work well, and I never had problems in the past, but this time I'm struggeling with the correct rceiver equalization setting. Usually I just take the number of taps and enable the adaptive equalization, but the Silicon I have to use seems to have a different (maybe analog) equalization. They specify max. 12dB Input equalization. In ADS I can choose the RX-equalizer to be: CTLE (setting poles and zeros), FFE (setting pre and postcursor Taps) and/or DFE (setting Taps). Now my question is: Which one to choose, and how to setup 12dB? Is there any convertion algorithm or table saying e.g. "12dB=xTaps DFE"? Any help or link to useful information to equalization papers or appnotes is appreciated.
