The present invention is concerned with Cosine Modulated Filter Band modulation, in particular for a matrix equalizer for equalising a modulated signal carrying digital data, wherein the signal is modulated using a CMF6 and transmitted through a transmission channel having a channel impulse response c(t), wherein the matrix equalizer comprises: matrix coefficients W(i) determined based on the discrete-time matrix channel impulse response C(i) that is determined from the channel impulse response c(t); wherein the matrix equalizer is configured to equalize the modulated signal in order to reduce signal distortion introduced by the transmission channel. The present invention also concerns a method for equalising the CMFB modulated signal.
