<p>A multipoint data modem communication system includes a master modem and a plurality of remote modems. During an initial, remote-to-master transmission, a relatively long training sequence is transmitted and receiver parameter and equalizer coefficients are stored in a storage unit (156) in the master modem. During subsequent transmissions a relatively short training sequence which synchronizes the master modem receiver timing and also identifies the transmitting remote modem is applied. In the master modem an interpolation filter (88) based on a ninth order Lagrange interpolation formula is located between an analog-to-digital converter (84) and a band-pass filter (92). Coefficients for the interpolation filter are calculated using a residual time shift value which is computed using a DFT calculator (96) which is coupled to a phase segment detector (142) and a phase-to-time-shift converter (146).</p> |
