Abstract

The adverse effects of node slips on the operation of an adaptive equalizer are corrected by determining phase and amplitude errors in the received vector signal relative to phase and amplitude estimates, based on node decisions. The phase and amplitude error signals are aligned in a prescribed fashion with the tip of the received signal vector and, from this alignment, respective X and Y components of the error signals are obtained and fed back to the equalizer as projected X and projected Y errors for updating the equalizer weights.
