Abstract
In this paper, two 9-taps FFE structures using different delay cell approaches are implemented and analyzed. The first FFE uses passive delay cells based on an artificial transmission line implemented using an inductor-capacitor (LC) ladder, and the second FFE uses active delay cells implemented with differential pairs incorporating an active inductive peaking technique.
