Abstract

An equalizer including a channel estimator allowing a Viterbi algorithm processor to estimate transmitted symbols accurately, so that the impulse response of a transmission channel may not deviate from the correct one. The equalizer outputs an transmitted symbol sequence estimate having the largest path metric by correcting the channel impulse response by parameter coefficients of the LMS (Least Mean Square) or RLS (Recursive Least Square) algorithm, by compensating for phase fluctuations due to the frequency offset and phase jitter of received signals, or by using a sequence included in an intermediate portion of a TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) frame format.
