Patent ID: 7792184

Claim:
A method for determining coefficients of an equalizer, the method comprising the steps of: receiving a baseband signal to generate a received baseband signal, wherein the baseband signal is a code division multiple access (CDMA) signal including pilot symbols and data symbols; wherein the pilot symbols are received over a pilot channel, wherein the data symbols are received over data channels, and wherein a remote source transmits the pilot channel orthogonal to the data channels; despreading the received baseband signal with respect to the pilot channel to generate a despread baseband signal; determining a channel frequency response of a channel impulse response responsive to the despread baseband signal; determining frequency-domain equalizer coefficients based upon the determined channel frequency response; determining time-domain equalizer coefficients based upon the determined frequency-domain equalizer coefficients; and convolving time-domain received samples with the time-domain equalizer coefficients.
