Patent ID: 7342959

Claim:
An apparatus comprising: a Least Means Square (LMS) filter to filter a received signal; a correction element to determine a change in channel characteristics based on the received signal and to set one or more coefficients of the adaptive filter to adapt to the change in channel characteristics, the correction element comprising: a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) component having an input coupled to an output of the LMS filter, the DFT component to perform a Fourier transform of coefficients of the LMS filter; a divider component having a first input coupled to an output of the DFT component; a storage component having an output coupled to a second input of the divider component, the storage component to store a reference DFT value representing a beginning DFT state of the coefficients of the LMS filter, wherein the divider component is to compute a quotient of the DFT transformed coefficients of the LMS filter and the beginning DFT state of the coefficients of the LMS filter; an inverse DFT component coupled to an output of the divider component, the inverse DFT component to perform an inverse Fourier transform of the quotient computed by the divider component; and an adaptive filter coupled to an output of the inverse DFT component, the adaptive filter to filter a signal for transmission based on the inverse Fourier transform of the quotient computed by the divider component.
