Abstract
A system for transmitting a data signal (a.sub.k) at a given symbol rate 1/T comprises a data transmitter (1), a channel (3(1)) of a transmission facility (3) having a plurality of channels (3(1)-3(M), and a data receiver (2) with an equalizer (7) of the decision feedback type. This equalizer comprises a feedback filter (12) with a memory span NT and a feedforward filter (8) which includes a low-pass filter section having a substantially minimum-phase character and an amplitude-frequency characteristic .vertline.W(f).vertline. which has a pronounced maximum .vertline.W(f.sub.m).vertline. for a frequency f.sub.m near to the frequency f=1/((N+1)T) and which is decreasing for frequencies exceeding f.sub.m [FIG. 5A]. Consequently, with respect to conventional dimensionings of the equalizer (7), this achieves an improved transmission quality and/or a reduced complexity of the feedback filter (12).
