Equalization circuit for unknown QAM constellation size

摘要

In a digital receiver, an equalizing unit includes a power controller adapted to scale received components of a quadrature amplitude modulated signal based on a constellation size of the quadrature amplitude modulated signal. Alternatively, a method of scaling components of a quadrature amplitude modulated signal includes the steps of searching the quadrature amplitude modulated signal to determine a constellation size, and scaling the components of the quadrature amplitude modulated signal based on the constellation size.
