Abstract:
1. A method for adjusting one or more parameters of an adaptive equalizer comprising the steps of: receiving a common part of a transmitted signal through a first path, the common part being the same as or distinct from the transmitted signal; receiving a differential part of the transmitted signal through a second path, the differential part being distinct from the common part and the transmitted signal; detecting a signal strength of the common part of the first path; detecting a signal strength of the differential part of the second path; utilizing a controller to receive the signal strengths of the common and differential parts; utilizing the controller to generate a compensation result by comparing the signal strength of the common part to the signal strength of the differential part; and adjusting at least a parameter of said equalizer according to said compensation result; wherein the differential part is obtained by a differentiator.
