ABSTRACT:
A vestigial sideband (VSB) modulation minimum output energy (MOE) pre-equalizer operating on a received ATSC 8-VSB DTV signal includes one or more of an adaptive feed-forward filter and an adaptive feedback filter each utilizing only real adaptive coefficients, with the direct term for the overall filter constrained to unity to remove one degree of filter parameterization freedom. Adaptation of the filter(s) is based on minimizing a blind energy cost function, and is independent of adaptation of a conventional adaptive channel equalizer. The pre-equalized signal is passed to the conventional adaptive equalizer for channel equalization utilizing DFE, IIR-CMA, etc., resulting in performance improvements including faster convergence and greater robustness with relatively small implementation costs.
