QVSB Data Detection with Correlated Noise Removal

A quadrature vestigial-sideband (QVSB) method and system with correlated noise removal are embodied in a QVSB receiver with a correlated-noise estimator-subtractor configured to obtain I/Q channel correlated noise estimates for receive-filtered I/Q signals in the QVSB receiver, and to subtract the I/Q channel correlated noise estimates from the receive-filtered I/Q signals to whiten noises entering a quadrature-crosstalk, maximum-likelihood-sequence-estimator (QC-MLSE) of the QVSB receiver.
