ABSTRACT:
A fractionally spaced adaptive equalizer is disclosed wherein the coefficients (C.sub.-2 to C.sub.+2) are updated synchronously by an integral -T error circuit (40) and alternately by a fractional =T error circuit (48). This arrangement features a single unique minimum for the adaptive structure thereby preventing the coefficient drift to very large values so coefficient tap leakage is not required to minimize coefficient values. The adaptive characteristic is well suited for linearly dispersive channels, such as exhibited during terrestrial radio transmission during tropospheric multipath propagation. The inventive principles are broadly applicable to any of the well known algorithms for adapting digital filters. A configuration of fractionally spaced equalizers (70.sub.1 -70.sub.4) provides the benefits of Nyquist-rate coefficient updating for a dual rail quadrature amplitude modulated (QAM) signal application.
