Abstract:
In a transversal equalizer with tap multipliers whose settings are automatically controlled by the mean-square error difference between a predetermined transmitted work pattern and a receivergenerated identical pattern, an improvement in startup performance in the presence of high-level distortion is achieved by making incremental phase changes in the receiver timing on each failure of comparison between the two patterns. Further improvement is effected by resetting all tap multipliers, except a reference multiplier, to the zero condition when such comparison failures persist. Upon repeated failure for a predetermined number of occurrences the state of the receiver word generator is altered to conform to the most recently received segment of the transmitted work pattern thus attaining timing synchronization and initial equalizer adjustment simultaneously.
Abstract:
A system is disclosed in which an error signal used for adjusting tap weights in a time domain equalizer is integrated in an up-down counter over one-half of an interval. At the end of the first one-half of the interval, the count in the counter is decreased by a predetermined amount proportional to a minimum acceptable error level. The count in the counter is then reduced at a predetermined rate until the count in the counter is zero. During the time the count is being reduced at the predetermined rate, the sampling time of a signal applied to the equalizer is phase shifted in a direction determined by the difference between the integrated error in the present and preceding intervals.
Abstract:
An all digital multitap transversal filter equalizer system is disclosed in which a received data signal is sampled at a predetermined rate. Each sample of the data signal is converted into a 10-bit serial digital word. The 10-bit word is multiplied by a second digital word successively at each tap to provide data for composite output data words. It has been found that by converting the composite output data word into one''s complement format, error magnitude and error polarity signals can be derived for adaptive adjustment without additional equipment.
