2.6 Equalizer Taps

The Equalizer is a corrector filter equipped in the demodulator. Its function is to
maintain the signal spectrum in an ideal shape against interferences causing
distortions of the signal itself. The graph shows the equalizer job to correct the signal.

TIP
The equalizer doesn't act during a fading condition but against interference
