Abstract
A communications system receives a modulated communication signal that carries encoded communications data. A signal input receives the communication signal. An adaptive filter circuit is connected to the signal input and comprises N number of parallel adaptive filters. Each adaptive filter has non-adaptive and adaptive taps with weighted coefficients that are different in number from the respective other parallel adaptive filters within the adaptive filter circuit. A selection output circuit is connected to each adaptive filter and selects for output the adaptive filter having the most suppression or least output power or other criterion which can indicate a best choice to use of the N parallel adaptive filters. A demodulator demodulates the signal and a decoder receives the filtered output signal from the demodulator and decodes the signal to obtain the communications data.
