ABSTRACT:
A multi-channel electronic communication system with equalized channels comprises a reference channel and a plurality of object channels. A white noise excitation signal is injected into each channel. Each of the channels is sampled and, for each channel, the resultant samples are windowed and the windowed samples are Fast Fourier Transformed from the time domain to the frequency domain. Power spectral density estimates are determined for each object channel from the windowed samples in that channel. Cross-spectral density estimates for each object channel with respect to the reference channel are determined from the windowed samples in that object channel and the windowed samples in the reference channel. The power spectral density estimates are divided by the cross-spectral density estimates to derive correlation ratios which are converted back to the time domain to specify a corrective equalization filter weight vector for each object channel. An equalization filter in each object channel is then programmed with a respective filter weight vector specified by the corresponding correlation ratio and an equalization filter in the reference channel is programmed with a unity weight vector to equalize the channels in the system.
