ABSTRACT:
A method and system for channel tracking in an adaptive equalizer for a digital data receiver. The method includes determining a first set of tap weights and a second set of tap weights of the equalizer, and determining a difference between the first and second sets of tap weights. The method also includes determining an error estimate based on symbols received at the receiver, comparing the error estimate with a divergence threshold, and determining a step size factor based on the difference and the comparison.
