Abstract:A general MMSE decision feedback equalizer (DFE) for
multiple input-multiple output channels is presented. 
It is derived under the 
constraint of realizability, requiring finite smoothing lag and causal 
filters both in the forward and feedback link. The proposed DFE,
which provides an optimal structure as well as optimal filter
degrees, is obtained as an explicit solution in terms of the channel and
noise description. 
A generalization of the scalar zero-forcing DFE is also 
presented. Conditions for the existence of such an equalizer are
discussed. We argue that when no zero-forcing equalizer exists, 
poor near-far resistance of the corresponding optimal 
minimum mean square error DFE can be expected. 
 A numerical example indicates the
potential advantages of using a decision feedback equalizer with
appropriate structure. The main improvements are obtained at moderate
to high signal-to-noise ratios.
