Abstract:
An adaptive signal equalizer with a feedforward filter in which the feedback error signal and corresponding incoming data signal are dynamically aligned in time using signal interpolation, and further, to control the precursor/postcursor filter taps configuration, thereby producing more adaptive filter tap coefficient signals for significantly improved and robust signal equalization.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for adaptively introducing a compensating signal latency related to a signal latency of a data symbol decision circuit. Adaptive timing control circuitry, including an interpolating mixer implemented as a tapped delay line with correlated tap coefficients, introduces a latency adaptively and substantially matching the latency of the data decision circuit for use within an adaptive equalizer, thereby minimizing the mean-squared error of such decision circuit. This adaptive latency is used in generating the feedback error signal which, in turn, can be used by the feedforward equalizer for dynamically adjusting its adaptive filter tap coefficients.
Abstract:
A continuous time electronic dispersion compensation architecture using feed forward equalization and a non-linear decision feedback equalization forms an output signal by a linear combination of successively delayed versions of the input signal and the sliced output signal weighted by appropriate coefficients. A selected number of taps in the mixer used to generate a corresponding number of coefficients for use in the feed forward equalizer are held to a selected voltage to ensure that the coefficients associated with these two taps do not drift. This causes the other coefficients to converge to a unique minimum square error value. In one embodiment the selected voltage is the maximum system voltage.

Abstract:
An adaptive coefficient signal generator for use in an adaptive signal equalizer with fractionally-spaced feedback. The signals representing the feedback tap coefficients are generated in conjunction with a timing interpolation parameter such that the fractionally-spaced feedback circuitry dynamically emulates symbol-spaced feedback circuitry.

Abstract:
A compensation circuit and method for reducing ISI products within an electrical data signal corresponding to a detected data signal received via a signal transmission medium introduces distinct compensation effects for individual ISI products within the electrical data signal. Distinct data signal components within the detected data signal and corresponding to such ISI products can be selectively and individually compensated, thereby producing a compensated data signal in which each selected one of such individual data signal components is substantially removed. Individual data signal components or selected combinations of data signal components can be compensated as desired.

Abstract:
Systems and methods provide automatic gain control, such as by employing analog and digital techniques. For example, overall gain may be controlled through coarse and fine control signals provided to gain stages, with the overall gain monitored via a power detector circuit.
