A self-adaptive equalizer for use in a data modem for correcting in the baseband a received data signal. The equalizer comprises a difference circuit for determining the difference between a received signal and a correction signal formed at a sampling frequency by a transversal filter having adjustable coefficients, and which produces a corrected signal which is applied to a decision circuit which recovers the data signal. The output of the decision circuit is applied to the transversal filter, the coefficients of which are adjusted so as to minimize the mean-square value of an error signal. The error signal at each actual sampling instant is formed by deriving the algebraic difference between the value of the corrected signal at that sampling instant and the value thereof at a previous sampling instant, the latter value being first multiplied by the ratio between the value of the recovered data signal at the actual sampling instant and the value thereof at the previous sampling instant.

Self-adaptive equalizer for baseband data signals

An echo canceller used in a data transmission modem for cancelling in the baseband signal of the receive path an echo signal .epsilon.(t) produced by the data signal from the transmit path. The echo canceller comprises a difference circuit for forming the difference between the signal from the receive path s(t)+.epsilon.(t) and a synthetic echo copy signal .epsilon.(t). The echo copy signal is formed by at least one transversal filter which operates at a sampling frequency equal to the frequency of the data and whose coefficients are adjusted to minimize the mean-square value of an error signal. This error signal e(n) at an actual sampling instant n of the filter is determined by forming the difference between the value of the output signal of the difference circuit at the instant n and the value of this signal at the preceding sampling instant (n-1), which has been multiplied by the ratio between the value of the data recovered at the instant n and the value of the data recovered at the instant (n-1). Also provided is a circuit for providing an error signal for controlling the filter coefficients as a function of the sign of the difference circuit out signals for the actual and previous sampling instants.

Echo canceller for a baseband data signal

A receiver used in a data transmission modem having a receive path containing a baseband signal and clock signal, and a transmit path. An echo canceller is employed having a transversal filter connected to the transmit path for generating a synthetic echo signal. A self-adaptive equalizer includes a transversal filter connected to receive a data signal from the receive path. Subtracting means subtract the signals from the echo canceller and equalizer from the baseband signal in the receive path. The subtracting means output is sampled at a sampling rate which satisfies the Shannon criteria with respect to a transmit signal in the transmit path. The filter coefficients are controlled in response to the sampled signal. The second and third clocking signals for the echo canceller and transversal filter and self-adaptive equalizer transversal filter are derived from recovered clock signals. Circuit means are connected to the sampling circuit output for deriving first and second error signals for controlling the coefficients of the transversal filters of the echo canceller and self-adaptive equalizer.
