Abstract
A method for processing electrical signals includes the steps of: storing a plurality of first data signals, each representative of an instantaneous amplitude of a first input signal in a memory; selecting one of the first data signals in response to a second input signal; combining the selected one of the first data signals with a second data signal representative of a subsequent instantaneous amplitude of the first input signal, to produce a difference signal; producing a first output signal in response to the difference signal; and combining the difference signal and the selected first data signal to produce a modified data signal and for replacing the selected one of the first data signals with the modified data signal in the memory. The method can be performed by an equalizer in a circuit for compensating for amplitude variations in a radio frequency signal or by a comb notch filter. The invention also encompasses circuits and combinations of such circuits which perform the above signal processing method.
