Over The Air à Equalizer graph
Integra features adaptive equalizer, which is a filter that automatically adapts to time-
varying properties of a communication channel with selective fading, having a target to
compensate the inequalities in frequency response, mitigating the effects of multipath
propagation. In wireless telecommunications, using QAM modulation this filter equalizes not
only a separate quadrature channel, but provides a cancellation of cross-interference
between them.
In Integra the adaptive equalizer is realized as complex-arithmetic 40-taps digital FIR
(Finite Impulse Response) filter. In other words, equalizer is a selective frequency amplifier
and attenuator, a device, which application to IF (Intermediate Frequency) band-limited
signal is schematically shown in the picture below:
Equalizer graph window shows adaptive equalizer taps’ coefficients, which at a set time
moment minimize multipath fading effect in channel.
Example of equalizer taps’ coefficients and its frequency response in case of a normal
operation is shown below:
