Abstract
An equalizer and an equalizing method for equalizing a received signal, where the received signal includes at least one primary interference and a plurality of secondary interferences. The Viterbi equalizer includes a filter module for filtering out the secondary interferences from the received signal to generate a filtered signal, a serial to parallel converter, coupled to the filter module, for generating a plurality of sequences according to the filtered signal, and a Viterbi equalizing module, coupled to the serial to parallel converter, for respectively equalizing the plurality of sequences to generate a plurality of equalized sequences. The architecture of the Viterbi equalizing module is greatly simplified thereby reducing the calculation activity of the Viterbi equalizer as well as maintaining its efficiency.
