Abstract

See full text

A system and method for calculating optimal equalizer coefficients during an initialization phase is disclosed. An equalizer system for processing a received signal at a communications receiver comprises several equalizers and adaptation modules. A first equalizer is configured to receive and process a received signal to create a first equalizer output. The first equalizer is active during an initialization phase and active during an operational phase. A second equalizer is configured to receive and process the first equalizer output to create a second equalizer output. The second equalizer is active during an initialization phase and aids in the generation of the first equalizer coefficients, and inactive during an operation phase. A third equalizer is configured to receive and process the first equalizer output to create a third equalizer output such that the third equalizer is inactive during an initialization phase and active during an operation phase.
