Abstract
Abstract A method and apparatus for receiving a data signal modulated by means of a double sideband-quadrature carrier modulation technique in which the received signal is sampled at a rate higher than the signaling rate 1/T, passed through a compensating filter, and applied to a processing system which provides the detected data. The compensating filter is such that the amplitudes of the components at f 1 =f c -1/2T and f 2 =f c +1/2T, where f c is the carrier, are equal. An initializer enables a filter coefficient to be determined during the turn-on time of the receiver. An adjusting device allows this coefficient to be continually adjusted. The invention can be used in data transmission systems whose channel has an asymmetric amplitude-frequency response curve.
