Greg-Many, if not most AMI receiver models perform adaptive equalization in statistical analysis, in the sense that they're able to identify and adopt the optimum configuration before calculating the output impulse response(s). I've written a number of such models myself.
The implementation of adaptive equalization in statistical analysis is often very different from the implementation in time domain simulation or in the actual device, however. The model developer must therefore have a deep understanding of the algorithm in the actual device, and must be able to apply some creativity. Fortunately, there are numerous model developers out there with sufficient skills for the job.

It is my understanding that adaptive equalization is not possible in AMI statistical simulations. To model adaptive equalization, I need to first run a short transient simulation, load the RX tap settings from that simulation into the model-specific parameters, and then run a statistical simulation.Question: what is it about modifying the impulse response that prevents RX adaptive equalization in statistical simulations?Thanks in advance for your time.
