Abstract:
A signal quality measuring method and apparatus in which a quality of a signal detected from an RF signal read out from a disk or a communications channel is measured by using eye pattern signals of the detected RF signals. Eye pattern signals representing time change of a waveform of the detected signal are generated and a signal quality value is generated based on an eye depth and/or an eye width measured from the eye pattern signals. A histogram of the eye pattern signals is used to identify a plurality of main level values which are used as a reference value in measuring the signal quality. Accordingly, signal characteristics in a high-density storage medium system or communication system may be accurately represented.
Abstract:
Provided are a data transceiver and method for performing equalization and pre-emphasis adaptive to the transmission characteristic of a transmitting part. The transceiver measures the signal attenuation characteristic of a transmission line of a receiving part using an input data signal input via the transmission line of the receiving part, decodes the distorted waveform of the input data signal, distorts the waveform of an output data signal beforehand using the measured signal attenuation characteristic of the transmission line of the receiving part, and transmits the output data signal via a transmission line of a transmitting part. Thus, when the output data signal is transmitted via the transmission line of the transmitting part, the waveform of the signal remains optimized.
