Abstract: An equalizer includes at least two first mutually interfering equalizer sections, and at least two second interference-correcting equalizer sections, arranged in series. Each of the second equalizer sections corresponds with one first equalizer section, such that although each corresponding equalizer has the same center frequency, the second equalizer sections have an equalization response opposite the interference effect, and the gain of the corresponding second equalizer at the respective common center frequency contains the negative gain of at least one first equalizer adjacent to the corresponding first equalizer at the center frequency of the corresponding first equalizer.

Abstract: A sample rate converter for converting a digital input signal having a first sample rate into a digital output signal having a second sample rate, wherein the second sample rate is different from the first sample rate. The sample rate converter includes a digital interpolation filter receiving the input signal and comprising a digital zero-phase filter, and a digital polynom interpolator connected to the interpolation filter and providing the output signal.

Abstract: Equalizer system having at least two mutually interconnected and mutually interfering equalizers that exhibit different center frequencies, whose gains at the respective center frequencies are controllable by first external control signals, the first external control signals being supplied to an optimizer that therefrom generates first internal control signals for setting the gains of the equalizers at the respective center frequencies, the first internal control signals being modified relative to the first external control signals in such a way that the interferences arising between the equalizers are at least reduced.
