Abstract

See full text

An apparatus for detecting data within a signal having both data and noise is disclosed herein. The apparatus includes means for receiving first samples of an input signal, a first detection unit and a second detection unit. The first detection unit processes the first data samples to create a first bit signal, a second bit signal and a probability related signal. The second detection unit includes first and second modification units and a selection unit. The first and second modification units separately modify the first data samples based on the first and second bit signals, respectively, to create first and second error signals, respectively. The selection unit selects one of the first and second bit signals based on the first and second error signals and a threshold signal.
