13. A receiver for processing an electronic signal (“signal”), the receiver comprising:
a front end for receiving the signal as a received signal;
a signal prediction block for generating a plurality of expected waveforms in parallel, where each of the plurality of expected waveforms is corresponding respectively to one of a plurality of possible symbols; and
a comparator, coupled to the front end and the signal prediction block, for comparing a waveform of the received signal with each of the plurality of expected waveforms corresponding respectively to one of the plurality of possible symbols; and wherein:
the signal prediction block ranks the received signal against each of the plurality of expected waveforms corresponding respectively to one of the plurality of possible symbols.
