Abstract
Abstract A terminal for a duplex transmission system for digital signals, which includes an adaptive quantized equalizer for reception and a pulse-shaping equalizer for transmission. The correction factors for the transmission equalizer are derived from the adaptively adjustable coefficients of the reception equalizer, the derivation being effected in accordance with recursive expressions which signify minimum intersymbol interference between successive pulses in a received digital signal.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
162 words
A terminal for a transmission system having a duplex transmission path for transmitted and received digital signals, comprising: a transmitter which includes a pulse-shaping equalizer for generating a number (n) of variably delayed versions of the digital signal to be transmitted, multiplying such versions by respective correction factors (α1, α2, . . . α n ) and adding such multiplied versions to the digital signal to be transmitted, thereby predistorting such digital signal; a receiver which includes an adaptive quantized feedback equalizer having adaptively adjustable coefficients (C1, C2, . . . C n ); and converter means coupling said transmitter equalizer to said receiver equalizer, said converter means being adapted to convert the adaptively adjustable coefficients (C1, C2, . . . C n ) of the receiver equalizer into the correction factors (α1, α2, . . . α n ) for the pulse-shaping transmission equalizer in accordance with recursive expressions which signify minimum intersymbol interference between successive pulses in received digital signals.
