    Abstract: A filter for compensating discrete secondary pulse formations associated with a data stream of discrete main pulses produced from data read from magnetic media. The filter's impulse response comprises a center coefficient with side compensating coefficients for attenuating the secondary pulses when the input signal is convolved with the impulse response. The magnitude and delay of the compensation coefficients are programmable and are adaptively adjusted to optimize the impulse response for a given environment. In a traditional FIR embodiment, two delay lines are used to generate the two programmable delays between the center coefficient and side compensation coefficients. In the preferred embodiment, an IIR filter provides the two programmable delays using only one delay line thereby reducing the size and cost of the circuit. Also in the preferred embodiment, the data stream is interleaved into an even and odd data stream and processed in parallel by two filters in order to double the throughput. Further, the pre-cursor correcting portion of the filter can be disabled in order to avoid delaying the data stream while still canceling the post-cursor secondary pulses. The filter also comprises attenuation and adder means to match the coincident sample values in amplitude and add them to substantially eliminate the effect of the secondary pulses in the discrete data stream.

    Abstract: So as to be directly connected to the predefined logic circuit PLC to form a baseband modem, the analog circuit BBAC is monolithically integrated in accordance with the CMOS technology, using switched-capacitor filters which are driven by only one clock. The automatic equalizer EGA is likewise designed from switched-capacitor filters, equalization being obtained by variable and symmetrical clipping of the signals. In these conditions the modem can operate automatically in a very wide range of data rates.

    Abstract: Optical receiving system, incoming unipolar pulses being converted into bipolar pulses having a constant top amplitude (elements 2, 3 and 4) which, on the one hand, are used for generating replicas of the original pulses, but having a constant top amplitude (element 5) and, on the other hand, for eliminating mutual phase differences by means of phase comparison with local clock pulses (elements 7..14). The latter is preferably effected by the bipolar pulses being multiplied (element 7) by the clock pulses, and by using the resulting DC signal to control a controllable delay element (8).

    Abstract: To compensate for nonlinear signal distortions in analog optical communication transmission systems, caused by laser chirps and the chromatic dispersion of the optical fiber, an equalizer in the form of an LC component is known, whose capacitance is formed by a variable capacitance diode. However, the known equalizer functions only when the capacitance has the proper polarity, which cannot be predicted because of possible polarity inversion during signal transmission. According to the invention, the variable capacitance diode (C.sub.a) has another variable capacitance diode (C.sub.b), with the opposite polarity, connected in parallel, and is equally biased in the high-resistance direction. By adjusting the bias voltage of both capacitances, it can be achieved that one of the two variable capacitance diodes takes over the equalization function, and the other is practically inoperative. Further developments of this solution concern keeping the frequency response constant during adjustment of the equalization, by means of a capacitance connected in parallel to the variable capacitance diodes (C.sub.a, C.sub.b), and the equalization of large bandwidth signals by an LC chain circuit with LC components according to the invention.

    Abstract: An adaptive feedforward equalizer (12) has switched (N-1) tap-gain coefficients and a fixed tap-gain coefficient for the reference delay-line tap to operate on an incoming IF or baseband signal according to a first error signal (.epsilon..sub.1) representative of the difference between the input and output of a decision circuit (15). All tap-gain coefficients are active in the absence of an interference from an undesired source to cancel precursor distortion. The (N-1) tap-gain coefficients are nullified when such an interference is detected to reduce its precursor-cancelling capability. A first feedback equalizer (17) operates on the output of the decision circuit according to the first error signal to cancel postcursor distortion. A second feedback equalizer (18) nonlinearly filters the output of the decision circuit according to a second error signal (.epsilon..sub.2) and generates an estimate of a desired component of the output of the feedforward equalizer. The outputs of the second feedback equalizer (18) and the feedforward equalizer (12) are combined to produce the second error signal, or an estimate of an undesired component of the output of the feedforward equalizer. In the presence of the interference, the desired component estimate (.epsilon..sub.2) is combined with the outputs of the feedforward equalizer (12) and the first feedback equalizer (17) to produce an equalized signal for coupling to the decision circuit.

    Abstract: A digital data receiver is enabled to operate with good error correction of signals subject to high multi-path distortion, and to operate with lower power consumption as the incoming signal dispersion becomes less. A signal analyzer measures the quality of the received signal. The amount of error correction is then adjusted in accordance with the quality factor. An equalizer may be used having an adjustable number of filter stages, or a state model of the transmission channel may be used with controllable numbers of states, channel coefficients, data paths, or register lengths for storing path data.

    Abstract: An adaptive equalizer in a digital receiver filters differentially encoded data bursts containing known data preceded and followed by user data. A storage means saves and restores filter coefficients and other values so that the known data can be filtered repeatedly. As the known data are repeatedly filtered, a known-data generating means generates different differential encodings of the known data as desired data which are compared with the filtered values to obtain error values for use in updating the filter coefficients. A comparator means selects the encoding that produces the smallest cumulative error. The known data are then filtered once more, using the selected encoding as desired data, after which adaptive filtering of user data continues.
