Abstract
In a receiver, an adaptive decision feedback equalizer receives broadcast signals having multipath interference. The equalizer includes a feed-forward, a feedback, and a partial feedback forward filter. The equalizer also includes a slicer and two accumulators. An output from the slicer is processed by the feedback filter and the partial feedback filter. The output from the feedback filter is subtracted from output of the feed-forward filter to form the input to the slicer, and the output of the partial feedback filter is subtracted from the received signal to form the input for the feed-forward filter to reduce the multipath interference.
