apitalizing on the tremendous per formance gains of turbo codes and the turbo decoding algorithm, turbo equalization is an iterative equalization and decoding technique that can achieve equally impressive performance gains for communication systems that send digital data over channels that require equalization, i.e., those that suffer from intersymbol interference (ISI). In this article, we discuss the turbo equalization approach to coded data transmission over ISI channels, with an emphasis on
