Abstract :
The performance of finite intersymbol interference (ISI) channels in the presence of additive white Gaussian noise is evaluated by interpreting the ISI channel as a trellis code. Closed form results are obtained for ISI channels with one and two symbols of interference. An efficient algorithm is also introduced to evaluate the minimum free Euclidean distance of any ISI channel
