Training method in a time domain equalizer and a digital data transmission apparatus including an improved training apparatus

A training method in a time domain equalizer in a digital data transmission system for updating tap coefficients in the time domain equalizer so that an error between the tap coefficients and channel target characteristic becomes zero, the training method comprising steps of:

• obtaining a first sum of the tap coefficients in the time domain equalizer before a rectangular window is provided to the tap coefficients, and storing the first sum in a memory;
• obtaining a second sum of the tap coefficients in the time domain equalizer after the rectangular window was provided to the tap coefficients;
• subtracting the second sum from the first sum, and dividing a resultant value of subtraction by the numbers of the tap coefficients existing within the rectangular window;
• and
• obtaining each of tap coefficients in the time domain equalizer by adding a divided value to each tap coefficient existing within the rectangular window.

A training apparatus provided in a digital data transmission apparatus for updating tap coefficients in a time domain equalizer so that an error between the tap coefficients and channel target characteristic becomes zero, the training apparatus comprising:

• a first means for obtaining a first sum of the tap coefficients of the channel target characteristic before a rectangular window is provided to the tap coefficients, and storing the first sum in a storage unit;
• a second means for obtaining a second sum of the tap coefficients of the channel target characteristic after the rectangular window was provided to the tap coefficients;
• a third means for subtracting the second sum from the first sum, and dividing a resultant value of subtraction by the numbers of the tap coefficients existing within the rectangular window;
• and
• a fourth means for obtaining each of tap coefficients of the channel target characteristic by adding a divided value to each tap coefficient existing within the rectangular window.
