Abstract:
A method of equalizing a signal comprising the following steps:a) processing each of a plurality of input blocks of data to provide first output blocks of data, wherein the processing of step a) includes a first complex multiplication of each of the input blocks of data by a first set of equalizer coefficients, wherein step a) is not a full solution to ghosts; b) processing each of the plurality of input blocks of data to provide second output blocks of data, wherein the processing of step b) includes a second complex multiplication of each of the input blocks of data by a second set of equalizer coefficients, wherein step b) is not a full solution to ghosts; c) adding corresponding ones of the first and second adjusted output blocks of data; and, d) controlling the first and second sets of equalizer coefficients so that, as a result of the addition performed according to step c), a substantially full solution to ghosts is obtained.
