Abstract
A transceiver to communicate in a vehicle via a single twisted-pair Ethernet cable includes a transmitter to transmit signals via the single twisted-pair Ethernet cable and a receiver to receive signals via the single twisted-pair Ethernet cable. The transceiver includes an equalizer, a signal-to-noise ratio estimator, and a controller. The equalizer includes a notch filter and a slicer. The equalizer receives an input signal received by the transceiver via the single twisted-pair Ethernet cable. The notch filter cancels electromagnetic interference from the input signal and to output a filtered signal. The slicer slices the filtered signal. The signal-to-noise ratio estimator estimates a signal-to-noise ratio based on an output of the slicer. The controller controls a rate of adapting the equalizer by controlling a rate of change of tap values of the notch filter based on the signal-to-noise ratio.
