Abstract
A signal processing method, receiver and equalizing method are provided. The receiver comprises an estimator estimating a channel coefficient matrix from a received signal, a first calculation unit determining a channel correlation matrix based on the channel coefficient matrix a converter converting the channel correlation matrix into a circulant matrix. A second calculation unit determines equalization filter coefficients by applying a first transform to the real parts of a first subset of the terms in the first column of the circulant matrix and by applying a second transform to the imaginary parts of a second subset of the terms in the first column of the circulant matrix. An equalizer equalizes the received signal by using the determined equalization filter coefficients.
