Abstract

A system and method for adaptive equalization in a communication system. The system can include a modulator, a processor coupled to the modulator, and a memory coupled to the processor. The memory can store software instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations that can include generating, for each of one or more scan frequencies of interest, an optimal bias setting of the modulator. Data indicating a selection of a range of frequencies to be processed by the communication system can be received at the processor. The operations can include determining, responsive to the receiving, the optimal bias setting corresponding to the selected range of frequencies. A bias of the modulator can be adjusted based on the determined optimal bias setting, the adjusting providing adaptive equalization of the flatness response of the communication system.
