Abstract
A digital transceiver system includes a downlink channel and an uplink channel. In the system, a transmitter transmits signals on the downlink channel and receives signals on the uplink channel. The transmitter includes a pre-coder having a plurality of filters. Each filter has a corresponding filter coefficient. The transmitter also includes a filter coefficient updater coupled to the pre-coder. A receiver of the system receives signals on the downlink channel and transmits signals on the uplink channel. The receiver includes linear equalizers having a plurality of taps. Each tap has a corresponding tap coefficient. The coefficient updater is configured to dynamically update the filter coefficients according to the tap coefficients which are indicative of the frequency response of the receiver.
