Abstract: A spectral shaping PCM modem communication system uses a symbol encoder to encode a data bit stream into a PCM symbol stream. A plurality of different frames are formed from the PCM symbol stream. Performance metrics are computed for each possible frame and its inversion so a decision can be made in order to select a most desirable frame and inversion Delays are injected in the data flow to allow a look-ahead and thus provide for better frame selection and inversion decisions. A channel multiplexer combines decision bits and output frames to form encoded output frames that are fed to a digital channel connected to a telephone network wherein they are converted to analog signal. A corresponding decoder converts analog signals from the telephone network to digital signals. A timing recovery and equalization means corrects sample timing and removes inter-symbol interference effects introduced by telephone networks.
