  • Adaptive equalizer with complex signal regeneration and method of operation
    Patent number: 6301298
    Abstract: An adaptive equalizer for use in a digital transmission receiver includes Q-channel regeneration. A equalization filter produces complex valued equalized signal samples representative of a digital transmission signal. A slicer produces ideal real component values of the equalized signal samples. A Q-regeneration filter produces ideal imaginary component values of the equalized signal samples from the ideal real component values. The ideal real and imaginary component values are combined with the component values of the equalized signal samples to produce a complex valued error signal. The error signal is fed back to scale update values for updating coefficient values of the equalization filter. Delays in the equalizer provide storage to synchronize various equalizer signal and component values with the Q-regeneration filter output.
