An adaptive equalizer is provided with an equalizing assembly for equalizing an input signal having a transmission frame which includes a first training field and a second training field. The input signal is temporarily stored in a storage unit and simultaneously subjected to equalization by the equalizing assembly. An equalization error in the second training field is calculated and compared with a predetermined value. When the equalization error exceeds the predetermined value, the equalizing ...

A transversal equalizer having first and second transversal filters, each including a plurality of adders and a set of multipliers, and each of which equalizes input sample values based on tap coefficients applied to the multipliers and outputs the resulting signal, a combining circuit in the second transversal filter for combining the output signal of the first transversal filter with the signal being processed in the second transversal filter and a switch which connects the first output signal...

A transversal equalizer having a specified number of rear taps. The transversal equalizer includes a first transversal equalizer unit which receives input signals through a first input terminal, equalizes their waveforms, and outputs the equalized signals as cascaded signals and a second transversal equalizer unit which receives the cascade output signals and also receives input signals and outputs an equalized signal derived from the input signals.

High-speed bipolar signals transmitted along standard twisted pair telephone wiring are subject to InterSymbol Interference which is corrected by an equalizer circuit that is operably responsive to predetermined parameters of bipolar signals detected at the secondary of a line transformer. These parameters are input to a control logic circuit which includes several stages, each producing a set of past dependent logical control signals which are input to corresponding equalizer tap circuits havin...

An automatic equalizer for an electronic measuring instrument using a transducer to measure a physical quantity. A signal amplifier in the instrument has a positive feedback application point and a negative feedback application point. The automatic equalizer has a plurality of stages, each comprising an amplifier that draws its input from the compensated output of the signal amplifier. Each equalizer stage is biased to operate over a different range of output signal levels, and the amount of fee...

A thermal equalizer for use in a paper web drying machine and process is disclosed. The equalizer is located at the junction of a crescent header and the associated nozzle box and its use results in a more uniform temperature and nozzle velocity in the cross-machine direction.

A cylindrical case provided with a chamber is coaxially attached to a rotary shaft of a motor. A plurality of balancers are movably provided within the chamber so as to cancel a rotation eccentricity of the motor. A viscous member such as high viscosity fluid is provided on at least one of the surfaces of the balancers and an inner face of the chamber.

An adaptive equalizer for compensating input signal frequency and phase distortion introduced in the input signal transmission media is provided. The adaptive equalizer includes frequency selection means for generating an output signal of a selected frequency in response to the input signal and a feedback signal. A comparator slices the equalizer output at predetermined levels. A controller receives the comparator output and provides a controller output representative of the voltage level of the...
