Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to an amplitude-compensation network consisting of a cascaded series of N transversal filters, each transversal filter of the network having a specified transfer function, H1(f), H2(f),...,Hn (f) where Hk(f) eQk cos 2 pi kfd, and where Qk is a constant and d 1 is the period. The tap weights for each filter are derived from the relationship gm Im(q) when q is positive and gm (-1)mIm(-q), if q is negative. Here, Im denotes the modified Bessel function of the first kind and q is a constant for the kth filter q Qk.
