Abstract

A method and apparatus for equalizing a signal to accurately deconvolute the channel includes deriving a functional relationship between Doppler frequency and variance between the instantaneous energy of the received signal and the mean energy of the received signal. Theoretical values of Doppler frequency for a range of values of variance are mapped based on the derived functional relationship. The variance of a received signal is determined and the corresponding Doppler frequency estimate selected from the map. Optimal equalization learning parameters are then selected based on the corresponding Doppler frequency estimate so that the received signal may be deconvoluted independent of the impact of Doppler frequency.
