Patent ID: 7418061

Claim:
A receiver for processing a received signal comprising: a filter stage that receives, filters, and equalizes the received signal; and a decisional feedback loop coupled to the filter stage that receives and processes a filtered equalized signal from the filter stage using remodulation to compensate for inter-symbol interference introduced by the filter stage, the decisional feedback loop having a carrier loop that generates a frequency correction signal from the processed filtered equalized signal and provides a frequency-offset estimate; a converter that receives the filtered equalized signal and generates a baseband signal; a detector that receives the baseband signal and generates a decision signal; and a restorative signal generator that receives the decision signal and generates a restorative signal, wherein the restorative signal and the frequency correction signal are provided to the converter to compensate for inter-symbol interference introduced by the filter stage, and wherein the converter includes a combiner that combines the filtered equalized signal and the restorative signal and outputs a combined signal; and a converter multiplier that receives the combined signal and the frequency correction signal and outputs the baseband signal.
