Patent ID: 7113539

Claim:
Apparatus for equalizing the amplitudes of the bandedges of a broadband signal comprising: a pre-equalizer for adjusting the amplitudes of the bandedges of said broadband signal in response to a control signal; a bandedge filter, connected to said pre-equalizer, for extracting a bandedge signal from said broadband signal; and a bandedge signal processor, connected to said bandedge filter, for generating said control signal in response to said bandedge signal, wherein said bandedge signal processor comprises: a first filter for producing a first bandedge signal from said bandedge signal; a second filter for producing a second bandedge signal from said bandedge signal; a first magnitude processor, connected to said first filter, for generating a first magnitude value representing the magnitude of said first bandedge signal; and a second magnitude processor, connected to said second filter, for generating a second magnitude value representing the magnitude of said second bandedge signal.
