Abstract
This invention relates to automatic adaptive equalizers used in those data transmission systems which rely upon a double sideband-quadrature carrier (DSB-QC) modulation technique. The term DSB-QC modulation is used here in a broad sense and includes all systems wherein the transmitted signal can be represented by superimposing two amplitude modulated quadrature carriers. Thus, the term DSB-QC includes, in particular, phase-shift keying, amplitude phase-shift keying and quadrature amplitude modulation. More particularly, this invention relates to a method and a device for training an adaptive equalizer by means of an unknown data signal sent to the receiver, and is especially useful in a data transmission system configured as a multipoint network.
