Reservoir Computing-based Multi-Symbol Equalization for PAM 4 Short-reach Transmission

Yevhenii Osadchuk, Ognjen Jovanovic, Darko Zibar, Francesco Da Ros

We propose spectrum-sliced reservoir computer-based (RC) multi-symbol equalization for 32-GBd PAM4 transmission. RC with 17 symbols at the output achieves an order of magnitude reduction in multiplications/symbol versus single output case while maintaining simple training.
