Symbols (y(n-L)) in a symbol sequence transmitted via a fading channel are estimated (~(n-L)) in an equalizer having a channel estimating filter (CEST). An error signal (e(n)) influences an adaptation circuit (10) which controls adjustable coefficients (7) so as to form a channel estimate (c1(n), c2(n) c3(n)), which is adapted during the whole of the symbol sequence. The adaptation circuit (10) performs an adaptation algorithm, which is influenced by mean energy values (U(n)) obtained from the channel estimate in a mean-value-forming circuit (15). Subsequent to fading the adaptation algorithm is able to control the coefficients (7) so that one of the coefficients will erroneously dominate the channel estimate, with erroneous estimation of symbols (~(n-L)) as a result. This is counteracted by selecting the largest of the mean energy values U(n)), this largest value influencing the adaptation algorithm (10). When the signal strength of the transmitted symbols falls beneath a threshold value, the coefficient which dominated the channel estimate, for instance the first coefficient (c1(n)), is sustained to also dominate after fading and the remaining coefficients are set to zero:

Les symboles (y(n-L)) d'une séquence de symboles transmise par un canal d'évanouissement sont estimés (S(n-L)) dans un égaliseur équipé d'un filtre d'estimation de canal (CEST). Un signal d'erreur (e(n)) agit sur un circuit d'adaptation (10) qui module des coefficients ajustables (7) afin de former une estimation de canal (c1(n), c2(n), c3(n)), qui est adaptée tout au long de la séquence de symboles. Le circuit d'adaptation (10) effectue un algorithme d'adaptation qui est influencé par les valeurs énergétiques moyennes (U(n)) obtenues à partir de l'estimation de canal dans un circuit générateur de valeurs moyennes (15). Après l'évanouissement, l'algorithme d'adaptation peut commander les coefficients (7) de façon que l'un d'entre eux domine de manière erronée l'estimation de canal, ce qui se traduit par un estimation erronée des symboles (S(n-L)). On peut compenser cela en choisissant la plus grande des valeurs énergétiques moyennes (U(n)), celle-ci influant sur l'algorithme d'adaptation (10). Lorsque l'intensité du signal des symboles transmis tombe au-dessous d'une valeur seuil, le coefficient qui dominait l'estimation de canal, par exemple le premier coefficient (c1(n)), est maintenu de façon qu'il domine également après l'évanouissement, et les coefficients restants sont ramenés a zéro.
