1. A spectrally constrained impulse shortening filter for a multiple carrier communication system, the system being configured to receive a signal and including a channel that has an impulse response, the filter comprising:
an input connected to receive the signal;
a digital structure, coupled to the input, configured to select an impulse response, wherein the digital structure is operable to (1) measure received noise power spectral density, (2) compute a cost function using the noise power, the cost function being dependent on the impulse response, (3) reduce the dimensionality of a space over which the cost function is defined and (4) minimize the cost function.
