Abstract

A system and method is disclosed for controlling signal conditioning parameters and a sampling parameter controlling conversion of a received signal to digital sampled values prior to decoding. The sampled values are decoded according to a comparison with expected values calculated according to a model of a transmission channel. The model is also updated from time to time by comparing the expected values with actual sampled values. Variation of the expected values over time is calculated. One or more of the signal conditioning parameters and the sampling parameter are adjusted according to a numerical minimization method such that the system BER is reduced.
