Abstract

A digital television receiver includes a filter for minimizing NTSC interference with a received signal having a constant symbol rate. An equalizer has two one symbol delays for each tap. A filtered and a non-filtered version of the received signal are applied to a multiplexer at the input of the equalizer, which is operated at twice the symbol rate. The outputs of the multipliers in the equalizer are combined and applied to a demultiplexer. The filtered and non-filtered equalized signals are compared and a selection as to which of the filtered or non-filtered received signals is to be processed is made based upon the comparison.
