Patent ID: 7280614

Claim:
A system, comprising: a transmission device to transmit a signal; and a receiver device to receive the signal transmitted by the transmission device, the receiver device including: a sampler to obtain samples from the received signal at a frequency at least equal to twice a maximum frequency of a frequency spectrum of the received signal; an interpolator coupled to the sampler to derive a sequence of samples from the obtained samples according to a tuning parameter; an equalizer coupled to the interpolator to equalize the samples from the interpolator based on at least one equalization parameter; and a control element coupled to the interpolator and to the equalizer to provide the tuning parameter and the equalization parameter, respectively, in a single digital process, wherein the equalizer includes: a first digital filter to process a first sample from the interlator based on a first equalization parameter provided by the control element; and at least a second digital filter to process a second sample from the interpolator based on a second equalization parameter provided by the control element, wherein the control element is capable to use minimization of a cost function to simultaneously set the tuning parameter and the first and second equalization parameters.
