ABSTRACT:
An equalization and demodulation method for a structured digitally modulated signal provides a multiple filter equalizer, which comprises multiple, parallel, automatically adjustable processors. The multiple filter equalizer is applicable to a structured digitally modulated signal, such as a signal from time division multiplexing (TDM) of multiple data sources. The multiple filter equalizer exploits the repetitive structure of TDM signal data by employing multiple parallel processors each constructed according to the specific requirements at the position in the frame of a symbol to be demodulated. Each processor comprises one or more adaptive digital transversal filters, one or more nonlinear threshold operators, and a symbol decision operator. The transversal filters equalize the data, remove interfering signals, reduce intersymbol interference, and mitigate multipath and other propagation effects. After the samples corresponding to one frame of information symbols are equalized in parallel, the equalized samples are demodulated in parallel to generate demodulated information symbols for that frame. The method is applicable to adaptive equalization both with and without a known training sequence.
