Abstract

A digital signal error reduction apparatus of the present invention tracks and reduces both quickly changing errors and static errors in a digital signal which are caused by time variant multipath distortion, co-channel interference, and other transmission path interferences, including nonlinear distortion. A transversal filter is implemented for filtering the digital signal. A error detection device is implemented for calculating an error of the digital signal. A coefficient engine device is used for receiving the digital signal and the error, for extracting the error, and for updating a tap coefficient for the transversal filter so that the error is minimal.
