The application discloses a low-
delay sequence detection device for CPO photoelectric
signal reception, comprising an adaptive module and a plurality of partitioned forward-looking parallel detectors, the partitioned forward-looking parallel detectors comprising partitioned and
branch metric calculation modules, trellis merging modules and decision modules connected in sequence, the partitioned and
branch metric calculation modules being used for partitioning and
branch metric calculation of PAM4 signals based on tap coefficients and ISI coefficients provided by the adaptive module for input signals, the trellis merging modules being used for trellis
signal merging calculation of path
metrics of synchronization blocks and
backtracking blocks according to obtained
branch metrics, and the decision modules being used for decision of input signals to obtain binary PAM4 signals according to obtained path
metrics, and the adaptive module being used for adaptive update of tap coefficients and ISI coefficients. The application aims at CPO photoelectric
signal reception while reducing the complexity,
power consumption and
delay of PAM4 signal sequence detection technology.
