Acting on an Impulse: Equalization and Emphasis

The transmission path exposes a digital signal's vulnerable analog nature. Fortunately,
equalization can recover its digital character. A channel's impulse response is encoded
with the causes of eye-closure and gives us the clues we need to understand
equalization. As usual in this business, when we make the transition from the theoretical
to the realistic, trouble arises.
