This white-noise sounding signal with a flat spectrum is the pseudo-random bit sequence used to pre-train the adaptive equalizer that cleans up the mushy analog signal into clean bits. It's basically a linear classifier trained with least square, a direct descendent of Bernie…

@unclebobmartin Programmers, accountants, and lawyers. It turns out that professions where people practice extreme attention to minute detail attracts people with particular skills that most other people would rather avoid even if they could do it if pressed.
