Abstract
It is difficult to obtain a demodulated signal with high signal quality in a digital optical receiver because it is difficult to compensate for each of different types of waveform distortion by a high-performance equalization process; therefore, a digital signal processor according to an exemplary aspect of the present invention includes a fixed equalization means for performing a distortion compensation process based on a fixed equalization coefficient on an input digital signal; an adaptive equalization means for performing an adaptive distortion compensation process based on an adaptive equalization coefficient on an equalized digital signal output by the fixed equalization means; a low-speed signal generation means for generating a low-speed digital signal by intermittently extracting one of the input digital signal and the equalized digital signal; a low-speed equalization coefficient calculation means for calculating a low-speed equalization coefficient to be used for a distortion compensation process of the low-speed digital signal; and a fixed equalization coefficient calculation means for calculating the fixed equalization coefficient by using at least a predetermined coefficient out of the low-speed equalization coefficient and the predetermined coefficient.
