System and method for large dimension equalization using small dimension equalizers and bypassed equalizers

摘要

An equalizer circuit of a particular equalization stage of a equalizer circuit is omitted, and input signals that would have otherwise been received at the omitted equalization circuit bypass the equalization stage and are instead processed at an equalizer circuit included at the next stage. Thus, a subset of the received frequency-domain signals can be processed by equalizer circuits at a first stage, while the remaining received frequency-domain signals bypass the first stage and are processed at an equalizer circuit included at a second stage.
