Equalizers for layered modulated and other signals
First Claim
1. A method of equalizing an input signal comprising a lower layer signal non-coherendy layered with an upper layer signal, comprising:
- delaying the input signal;
equalizing the delayed input signal according to equalizer parameters;
demodulating the input signal having input data to produce the upper layer signal;
remodulating the upper layer signal to produce a training sequence, wherein the training sequence is comprised of adjacent symbols in the input data;
subtracting the remodulated upper layer signal from the equalized and delayed input signal; and
generating the equalizer parameters from the training sequence.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for equalizing digital data signals is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of demodulating and decoding an input signal having input data to produce a data output, remodulating the data output to produce a training sequence including an idealized input signal, wherein the training sequence is comprised of adjacent symbols in the input data, and generating equalizer parameters from the training sequence. The apparatus comprises a demodulator (for demodulating an input signal to produce a data output), a modulator communicatively coupled to the demodulator (for remodulating the data output to produce a training sequence including an idealized input signal wherein the training sequence is comprised of adjacent symbols in the input data), and a parameter generation module communicatively coupled to the modulator (for generating equalizer parameters from the training sequence).
