In a delay equalizer having a plurality of quadratic all pass networks for equalizing the delay characteristics of a circuit, the automatic adjustment of the value of Q of each quadratic all pass network when calculated through the asymptotic formula ##EQU1## CAN PROVIDE PERFECT DELAY EQUALIZATION, WHERE Q.sub.i.sup.k is the value of Q of the i'th quadratic all pass network, and .alpha..sub.i is the step size parameter of i'th quadratic all pass network. Before applying said formula, the delay of the circuit to be equalized at the center frequency of each quadratic all pass network is measured, and said formula is calculated according to the result of the measurement.

Method for automatically equalizing the delay characteristics of a

In an automatic equalizer for regenerating a received digital signal, comprising a delay element train with a plurality of taps, a coefficient matrix circuit and a group of variable coefficient units, the structure of said coefficient matrix circuit being considerably simplified by introducing a simple adder and/or subtractor at the input and/or the output of said coefficient matrix circuit.
