Abstract
A method for determining and reducing or eliminating mid-range and long-rang echoes in the digital data transmission (in ATSC VSB system) is described. A portion of an ATSC VSB television signal is separated from the rest of the signal, certain values are set to zero and it is correlated with a first vector of data. The result of the correlation represents a channel model as affected by echoes within the channel, and then a second vector of data is added to it to derive correction information useful in positioning moveable filter taps to suppress the most prominent echoes.
