Abstract

An apparatus for encoding data signals includes a transmitter configured to encode and transmit a data signal over a communication channel, the transmitter including a precoder; a signal shaper configured to adjust the data signal by applying an equalization setting to the data signal, the equalization setting including an amplitude and offset and transmit the adjusted data signal to the precoder; and a processing unit. The processing unit is configured to perform: receiving channel coefficients associated with the communication channel; for each of a plurality of amplitude settings and a plurality of offset settings, calculating whether a modulo amplitude level would occur at a receiver using a modulo operation; selecting the equalization setting from the plurality of amplitude settings and the plurality of offset settings based on the calculation; and transmitting a control signal specifying the equalization setting to the signal shaper.
