Patent ID: 7145944

Claim:
An equalizer arrangement for generating an output signal by equalizing an input signal, comprising: at least two mutually interfering first equalizer sections; and at least two correcting second equalizer sections, where each of the second equalizer sections is uniquely associated with an associated one of the first equalizer sections which has the same center frequency, and each of the second equalizer sections has an equalization response which at least partially compensates for interference between the first equalizer sections, where each of the second equalizer sections at its center frequency has a gain that is equal to the negative sum of the gain of at least one of the first equalizer sections adjacent to the first equalizer section associated with the associated second equalizer section, where the gain of a certain of the second equalizer sections is equal to the negative sum of the gains of the first equalizer sections that are immediately adjacent to the first equalizer section that is uniquely associated with the certain of the second equalizer sections, where the gains are taken at the center frequency of the first equalizer section that is uniquely associated with the certain of the second equalizer sections.
