Abstract
In a simulcast communication system (26), a method and apparatus for compensating differences in propagation time, lack of synchronization in transmitters, and multipath fading to recover data transmitted to a receiving device. In a simulcast communication system (26) that comprises a plurality of transmitters (32a, 32b, 32c), a receiver (36) includes a digital signal processor (DSP) (86) that processes a demodulated received signal to adaptively compensate for changes in the channel through which a multipath signal is propagated from the transmitters to the receiver. In one embodiment, the DSP comprises a decision feedback equalizer (300). An error signal is produced by the equalizer through a comparison of the estimated symbols with symbols most likely transmitted, for use in updating filter coefficients used by the equalizer in processing the received signal. Another embodiment implements a Viterbi algorithm to make decisions of the most likely data symbols in response to estimates of the channel impulse response. Using any one of these embodiments, a linear modulated signal can be decoded to recover the data transmitted, even though the received signal has been degraded by propagation in a multipath fading channel.
