ABSTRACT:
An equalizer circuit (11) and a method for adjusting tap weights in the equalizer circuit (11) to provide an equalized signal. The equalizer circuit (11) includes an adaptation circuit (16) coupled to an FIR filter (17) and to an error sign generating circuit (18). The FIR filter (17) provides the signs of a plurality of delay signals to the tap weight adaptation circuit (16). Likewise, the error sign generating circuit (18) provides a sign of the error of an output signal of the FIR filter (17) to the tap weight adaptation circuit (16). The tap weight adaptation circuit (16) uses the signs of the delay signals and the sign of the error signal to generate the tap weights which are passed to the FIR filter (17) for adjusting the tap weights of the FIR filter (17).
