Abstract
A digital transmission system comprising a receiver, the receiver including a receiver input stage and a digital memory for storing a sequence of binary symbols of sample values, formed in the receiver input stage, of a signal distorted by a transmission channel, and an equalizer for forming a sequence of binary estimates from the sample values by an impulse response of a substitute system describing the transmission channel, the impulse response being determined by first correlations of coefficients of a known training sequence with the sample values of a part of the known training sequence extended by at least one binary symbol. To make a channel estimation possible for a higher degree of the impulse response of the transmission channel, and also to carry out the channel estimation always with a maximum quality, a variable first correlation window size and a variable number of first correlations are used for adapting the impulse response of the substitute system to the impulse response of the transmission channel. A reduction of the correlation window size enables more cross-correlation values to be formed with one sequence of sample values, so that an increase of the degree of t…
