Abstract

Abstract A fast start-up system for a transversal equalizer comprising means provided in a transmitter for generating a periodic symbol sequence with a period L, the auto correlation function of said sequence being completely 0 except for its center; means for generating and transmitting a test signal based upon said generated symbol sequence; means provided in a receiver for generating the same periodic symbol sequence as that generated in the transmitter in a proper phase relation thereto according to a received signal; means for calculating the correlation between L sampled values obtained by sampling the received test signal at the symbol interval and a sequence obtained by recirculating said periodic symbol sequence for each of consecutive M shifted phases; means for calculating the correlation between L sampled values obtained by sampling the received test signal at the symbol interval with a phase differring from the phase of said first-mentioned sampled values by an amount corresponding to one half of the symbol interval and a sequence obtained by recirculating said periodic symbol sequence for each of M' consecutive shifted phases; means for multiplying said calculated M + M' correlation values by a constant; means for obtaining discrete Fourier transform of the M + M' multiplied correlation values at N points equal to or greater than M + M' in number; means for storing values of a predetermined frequency characteristic for frequency points obtained as the discrete Fourier transform; means for dividing the stored values by said respective values obtained by the discrete Fourier transform; means for obtaining inverse discrete Fourier transform of the N divided values; and means for initializing, with the numerical values obtained as the inverse discrete Fourier transform, the tap gain of a transversal automatic equalizer with the basic delay interval equal to one half the symbol interval; thereby permitting a sufficiently equalized state to be realized fast with a short test sequence.
