Abstract
A system and method are provided for using an analysis of forward error corrections (FEC) in a digital communications signal as feedback information to improve the performance of an analog receiver system. The FEC decoder supplies the number of “1” bit and “0” bit corrections made to a control unit. In response to the FEC corrections, the control unit changes receiver control parameters. The control signal modifies processing in the receiver front end to achieve the fewest number of FEC corrections.
