A low-complexity eigenfilter design method for channel shortening equalizers for DMT systems

We present a new low-complexity method for the design of channel shortening equalizers for discrete multitone (DMT) modulation systems using the eigenfilter approach. In contrast to other such methods which require a Cholesky decomposition for each delay parameter value used, ours requires only one such decomposition. Simulation results show that our method performs nearly optimally in terms of observed bit rate.
