A receiver includes a discrete Fourier transform unit, a frequency-domain equalizer, an inverse discrete Fourier transform unit, a time-domain equalizer and an output circuit. The discrete Fourier transform unit is utilized for performing a discrete Fourier transform operation upon a received signal to generate a frequency-domain signal. The frequency-domain equalizer is utilized for equalizing the frequency-domain signal to generate an equalized frequency-domain signal. The inverse discrete Fourier transform unit is utilized for performing an inverse discrete Fourier transform operation upon the equalized frequency-domain signal to generate a first equalized time-domain signal. The time-domain equalizer is utilized for equalizing the received signal to generate a second equalized time-domain signal. The output circuit is utilized for generating a third equalized time-domain signal according to the first equalized time-domain signal and the second equalized time-domain signal.
