<p>The present invention provides an optimal procedure for determining in the time domain equalizer coefficients for an equalizer, where the equalizer compensates for the effects of the communications channel on the transmitted signal. A unit pulse is transmitted over the communications channel, and a channel impulse response is estimated from the received signal. A cost function establishes a mean-square error associated with the estimated channel impulse response as compared to a desired impulse response signal. The value of the cost function varies based upon an offset value between the estimated channel impulse response and an equalized channel impulse response. Values of the cost function are determined for different offsets, and the offset that produces the smallest cost function value (corresponding to the minimum mean-square error) is selected. The optimal equalizer coefficients are then calculated using the selected offset and the established cost function. In a preferred embodiment, the invention is applied to multicarrier modulation systems. Moreover, the cost function is defined as a krakovian function that depends on the offset value. That krakovian function includes a first krakovian which uses the channel impulse response and a second krakovian which uses the autocorrelation of the channel impulse response. Using the first and second krakovians and the selected offset corresponding to the minimal value of the established cost funciton, the optimal equalizer coefficients are determined in a straightforward, one step calculation.</p> |
