Adaptive hopping equalizer

A system, comprising:

• a memory configured to store an equalizer matrix including a plurality of equalizer vectors, each equalizer vector corresponding to a different frequency in a hopping sequence;
• and
• a processing circuitry operatively coupled to the memory, the processing circuitry being configured to perform the operations of:
• detecting a first hop to a first frequency in the hopping sequence, the first hop being performed by a transmitter in accordance with the hopping sequence;
• identifying a weighting vector that corresponds to a second frequency in the hopping sequence, the weighting vector being arranged to interpolate two or more of the equalizer vectors in the equalizer matrix when none of the equalizer vectors in the equalizer matrix corresponds to the second frequency;
• obtaining an equalizer vector for the second frequency based on the weighting vector and the equalizer matrix;
• detecting a second hop from the first frequency to the second frequency, the second hop being performed by the transmitter in accordance with the hopping sequence;
• receiving a signal that is transmitted by the transmitter at the second frequency;
• and
• equalizing the signal by using the equalizer vector for the second frequency.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more processor-executable instructions, which when executed by at least one processor cause the at least one processor to perform the operations of:

• detecting a first hop to a first frequency in a hopping sequence, the first hop being performed by a transmitter in accordance with the hopping sequence;
• identifying a weighting vector that corresponds to a second frequency in the hopping sequence;
• obtaining an equalizer vector for the second frequency based on the weighting vector and an equalizer matrix, the equalizer matrix including a plurality of equalizer vectors, each equalizer vector corresponding to a different frequency in the hopping sequence;
• detecting a second hop from the first frequency to the second frequency, the second hop being performed by the transmitter in accordance with the hopping sequence;
• receiving a signal that is transmitted by the transmitter at the second frequency;
• and
• equalizing the signal by using the equalizer vector for the second frequency.
