  • Patent number: 7693922
    Abstract: A method for preprocessing a signal, wherein an iterative process with at least one iteration is performed to generate an output signal based on an input signal. In each iteration a preceding intermediate output signal and the input signal is received. A process is applied to the preceding intermediate output signal to transform the latter according to a given transfer function so as to generate a transformed preceding intermediate output signal. Then, the input signal is subtracted from the transformed intermediate output signal. Thereby, an intermediate error signal is generated and then added to the intermediate output signal so as to generate a succeeding intermediate output signal which is used as an output signal after the iterative process stopped.

  • Publication number: 20050147181
    Abstract: A method for preprocessing a signal and for signal processing are suggested, wherein an iterative process with at least one iteration is performed to generate an output signal (O) based on an input signal (I). In each iteration a preceding intermediate output signal (PIO) and said input signal (I) are received (S21). A process (g) is applied (S22) to said preceding intermediate output signal (PIO) to transform the latter according to a given transfer function (h) so as to generate a transformed preceding intermediate output signal (TPIO). Then, said input signal (I) is subtracted (S23) from said transformed intermediate output signal (TPIO). Thereby, an intermediate error signal (IE) is generated and then added to said intermediate output signal (PIO) so as to generate a succeeding intermediate output signal (SIO) which is used as an output signal (O) after the iterative process stopped.
