摘要:
In described embodiments, a transceiver includes an eye monitor and margin detector having one or more samplers with corresponding logic. One or more programmable provisioning parameters are defined based on a pre-defined minimum target operating margin for acceptable noise and jitter margins. For example, two programmable provisioning parameters, phase and voltage, correspond with thresholds for margin samplers placed within the eye. Initially, the transceiver applies equalization, after which an inner eye of the transceiver, as detected by the eye monitor, is relatively open with some margin for supporting channels. If the receiver margin goes below this target margin, the eye closes, which is registered by the samplers. In the presence of spectrally rich input data, if the receiver margin goes below this target margin, an updated adaptation of equalizer or other circuit parameters might be initiated; else, adaptation is not generally required.

The invention relates to a receiver for a quadrature-modulated signal, which can be divided into an inphase signal (I) and a quadrature signal (Q). The inphase signal (I) is fed to first and third equalizers (EZl, EZ3), and the quadrature signal (Q) is fed to second and fourth equalizers (EZ2, EZ4), wherein the first and second equalizers (EZl, EZ2) each perform a first equalization of the respective signal. An output of the first equalizer (EZl) is connected to a second input of the fourth equalizer (EZ4), which, by means of a second equalization of the quadrature signal (Q), transmits an equalized quadrature signal (Q2) as a function of the previously fed equalized inphase signal (II) of the first equalizer (EZl). An output of the second equalizer (EZ2) is connected to the second input of the third equalizer (EZ3), which, by means of a second equalization of the inphase signal (I), transmits an equalized inphase signal (12) as a function of the previously fed equalized quadrature signal (Ql) of the second equalizer (EZ2).

A method is provided for equalizing OFDM symbol vectors received on AM in-band on-channel radio signal including a main carrier and first and second BPSK modulated subcarriers. The method comprises the steps of: computing a BPSK magnitude signal; filtering the BPSK magnitude signal; filtering complex samples received on the main carrier; using the filtered BPSK magnitude signal and the filtered complex samples received on the main carrier to compute a plurality of flat fade equalization coefficients; and multiplying the OFDM symbol vectors by the flat fade equalization coefficients. A receiver that includes an equalizer, which operates in accordance with the method is also provided.
