Patent ID: 8711918

Claim:
A receiver comprising: a known signal canceller responsive to an input signal of a communication channel including known and unknown portions of information, said known signal canceller operative to generate a time domain unknown signal, and further operative to generate an estimated channel impulse response signal, the known signal canceller including a known signal canceller filter configured to utilize a signal from a known signal generator block to generate a filtered known signal, the known signal canceller further including a subtractor responsive to the input signal and operative to generate an output signal, the subtractor configured to subtract the filtered known signal from the input signal; an equalizer coefficient computation block responsive to the estimated channel impulse response and operative to compute and generate time domain equalizer coefficients; and a time domain equalizer responsive to the time domain equalizer coefficients and to the output signal, and operative to generate an equalized signal, the time domain equalizer configured to filter the output signal using the time domain equalizer coefficients to yield an equalized signal.
