Abstract:
1. A method of equalizing signals in a receiver device for capturing a block of data generated from N data symbols in a single carrier communication system, the method comprising: receiving samples in the receiver device; performing a pN point discrete Fourier transform of the samples at a p/T sampler output of a receiver circuit in the receiver device to generate a frequency domain representation of r(kT/p) for each sample; generating a channel estimate; computing the frequency response of a zero-forcing or minimum-mean-square equalizer; multiplying a conjugate of the computed frequency response with the generated frequency domain representation of each sample to generate a product value; generating N-aliased frequency domain values from the generated product value for each of the samples in a transition band; and performing a transform on the generated N-aliased frequency domain values to generate estimates of a transmitted time domain data symbol.
