ABSTRACT:
An aspect of the invention provides for recovering communicated information in a communication system. Recovering communicated information in a communication system may include generating a first digital signal from a received analog signal bearing communicated information, the first digital signal having a pre-cursor response and a post-cursor response. A second digital signal may be generated that limits a duration of at least a portion of the post-cursor response and a third digital signal may be generated that inhibits at least a portion of the pre-cursor response. A fourth digital signal that inhibits at least a portion of the post-cursor response and a fifth digital signal that limits a duration of at least a portion of the fourth signal may be generated in order to recover the communicated information. A sixth digital signal based on at least the third digital signal and the fifth digital signal may be generated.
