Abstract

Exemplary embodiments of the present invention provide an equalizer combined with a decoder and a method of updating filter coefficients. The method may include calculating output error signals ek, multiplying the output error signals by a parameter, obtaining a partial value by multiplying a delayed decoder decision stored in a filter delay line corresponding to an i-th filter coefficient by the result obtaining a partial value by multiplying a constant by a feedback coefficient and obtaining an updated value by adding the two partial values.
