Abstract
A method and apparatus for processing input data signals transmitted in a continuous mode, or in a burst mode, of signal transmission, such as in a satellite or a computer network communications system. A receiver receives input data signals and a buffer stores the received input data. Processing circuitry generates frame timing synchronization control signals for writing the frames of the input data for storage, generates timing error control signals corresponding to a processing delay for the input data, for synchronizing reading out the stored data from the buffer based on a timing difference between the timing error control signals and the frame timing synchronization control signals to adjust for an arbitrary delay in processing the input data. The processing circuitry can include a tap gradient update circuit for generating a tap gradient corresponding to the read out data, based on equalizer error signals generated by the processing circuitry.
