Abstract
A device and method for precoding a sequence of analog levels transmitted over an analog channel to a quantization device, wherein the analog channel modifies the transmitted analog levels, including: a mapping device for mapping data bits to be transmitted to a sequence of equivalence classes, wherein each equivalence class contains one or more constellation points; a constellation point selector interconnected to the mapping device which selects a constellation point in each equivalence class to represent the data bits to be transmitted and which transmits a level that produces the selected constellation point at an input to the quantization device; and a filter device, operably coupled to the constellation point selector, which receives at its input previously transmitted levels and provides its output to the constellation point selector; wherein the filter device has a filter response which is based on the previously transmitted levels and a target response, and the target response is adapted using an analog channel error signal, the selected constellation point at an input to the quantization device.
