It seems you are making the same points: 1. Statistical simulation using AMI models DOES support adaptive equalization ONCE at the beginning of the simulation to optimize the RX to the channel. 2. If you want the RX to adapt to the bit pattern, you need to perform a time-domain simulation using the GetWave function. (I like to repeat what I heard to make sure I got it right.) The only paper I have on statistical simulation is the one Sanders, Resso, and D'Ambrosia wrote back in 2004. Does anyone know of a more recent paper that might highlight advances made since then?

I've written a number of such models myself. The implementation of adaptive equalization in statistical analysis is often very different from the implementation in time domain simulation or in the actual device, however. The model developer must therefore have a deep understanding of the algorithm in the actual device, and must be able to apply some creativity. Fortunately, there are numerous model developers out there with sufficient skills for the job.

To model adaptive equalization, I need to first run a short transient simulation, load the RX tap settings from that simulation into the model-specific parameters, and then run a statistical simulation. Question: what is it about modifying the impulse response that prevents RX adaptive equalization in statistical simulations? Thanks in advance for your time.
