Abstract
An arrangement is disclosed for receiving a digital signal from a transmission medium. The arrangement comprises a variable equalizer for equalizing a received signal so as to obtain an equalized signal, and bit-detector for detecting a sequence of bits from the equalized signal. The arrangement further comprises an asynchronous sampling unit for sampling a received analog signal so as to obtain a first signal having asynchronous samples. To control the variable equalizer a control signal is generated from the values of at least one sample of a signal having asynchronous samples, at either side of a zero crossing in signal.
