FEQ Update
This stream is still affected by carrier specific
channel distortion resulting in an attenuation of
the signal amplitude and a rotation of the signal
phase. To compensate, a Frequency domain
equalizer (FEQ) and a Rotor (phase shifter) are
implemented. The frequency domain equalization
performs an operation on the received vector in
order to match it with the associated point in the
constellation. The coefficient used to perform the
equalization are floating point, and may be
updated by hardware or software, using a
mechanism of active and inactive table to avoid
DMT synchro problems.In the transmit path, the

IFFT reverses the DMT symbol from frequency
domain to time domain.
The IFFT block is preceded by Fine Tune Gain
(FTG) and Rotor stages, allowing for a
compensation of the possible frequency mismatch
between the master clock frequency and the
transmitter clock frequency (which may be locked
to another reference).
The Inverse Fast Fourier Transform process is
used to transform from frequency domain to time
domain (transmit path). 256 positive frequencies
are processed, giving 512 samples in the time
domain.
