Patent ID: 6870893

Claim:
A receiver for a high speed transmission system for receiving a first signal over a transmission path, said first signal comprising a plurality of data symbols which are successively transmitted, in front of each of said plurality of data symbols having a first prefix for avoiding an interference between said successively transmitted plurality of data symbols, said receiver comprising: means for generating a second prefix for each of said first prefix in front of each of said plurality of data symbols; and replacing means for replacing said first prefix, wherein by said second prefix, said second prefix respectively having a length longer than the length of said first prefix to be replaced, a buffer for buffering said first signal; a filter having a pass characteristic such that said first signal can pass comprising a first filter portion having a finite impulse response introducing zeros in the transfer function of said filter and a second filter portion having an infinite impulse response introducing poles in the transfer function of said filter; wherein said first filter portion is arranged in front of said replacing means with respect to said transmission path, and said second filter portion behind thereof.
