Abstract
A rate-adaptive equalizer automatically initializes its tap coefficients to values. During an initialization process, a linear search algorithm is performed that sweeps the tap coefficients through different combinations of tap coefficients while assessing information about an eye associated with an input signal received over a communications channel. When the eye information indicates that the eye is open, the current tap coefficients are selected as the initial tap coefficients to be used at the beginning of the main adaptation algorithm.
