Abstract

A method for optimizing a set of equalizer parameters of an equalizer to be used to equalize a multicarrier data signal that has been transmitted through a distorting channel, comprised of the steps of initializing the parameters, repeatedly sending a training sequence through the channel to the receiver, using the equalizer parameters, the received sequence, and a local replica of the training sequence to update a set of channel target response parameters, windowing the channel target response parameters, using the channel target response parameters, the received sequence and the local replica to update the equalizer parameters, and windowing the equalizer parameters. This training process is repeated until a predetermined convergence condition is detected.
