Beating Bandwidth Limitation for High-speed PAM-4 Transmission Based on Turbo Equalizer

To transmit high-speed PAM-4 signal in a low-cost IMDD system, inter-symbol interference (ISI) is induced by the limited component bandwidth. We cancel the ISI and improve the tolerance to bandwidth limitation by a reduced-complexity turbo equalizer.
