A feedforward equalizer for DFE based detector is provided comprising a digital to analog converter to convert an analog signal to a digital signal. A feedforward equalizer comprises a high-pass filter and is responsive to the input circuit. The high-pass filter has a low cutoff frequency, has a relatively flat response and has high attenuation at low frequencies. A decision feedback equalizer comprises a decision circuit responsive to the feedforward equalizer, and a feedback filter is responsive to the decision circuit. The decision circuit is also responsive to the feedback filter.

A method of design and an implementation system for reduced-state Viterbi detectors for intersymbol interference channels are provided. The method uses a complement states grouping technique that comprises the steps of finding the state distances between complement states; forming the reduced-state trellis by grouping the complement states with state distance no less than the minimum free distance; and by keeping the complement states with state distance less than minimum free distance unchanged. The resultant reduced-state Viterbi detector has negligible performance loss compared to the full-state Viterbi detector while the complexity is reduced by a factor of about two.

A decision-feedback equalizer (DFE) can be operated at higher frequencies when parallelization and pre-computation techniques are employed. Disclosed herein is a DFE design suitable for equalizing receive signals with bit rates above 10 GHz, making it feasible to employ decision feedback equalization in silicon-based optical transceiver modules. One illustrative embodiment includes a front end filter to reduce leading intersymbol interference in a receive signal; a serial-to-parallel converter and at least one pre-compensation unit that together convert the filtered signal into grouped sets of tentative decisions, the sets in each group being made available in parallel; a set of pipelined DFE multiplexer units to select a contingent symbol decision from each set of tentative decisions to form groups of contingent symbol decisions based on a presumed sequence of preceding symbol decisions; and an output multiplexer that chooses, based on preceding symbol decisions, one of said groups of contingent symbol decisions.

An adaptive analog echo/near-end crosstalk (NEXT) cancellation system includes a processor configured to receive a first digital signal corresponding to a first signal received by the system, receive a second digital signal corresponding to a second signal transmitted by the system, and generate a first error control signal based on each of the first digital signal and the second digital signal. A cancellation device is configured to generate a second error control signal based on a first analog signal corresponding to the first signal. The cancellation device selectively outputs the second error control signal or the first error control signal based on whether the system is operating in a first mode or a second mode, respectively. The cancellation device selectively outputs a cancellation signal according to one of the second error control signal and the first error control signal, and a second analog signal corresponding to the second signal.
摘要:
A parallel implementation of the Viterbi decoder becomes more efficient when it employs end-state information passing as disclosed herein. The improved efficiency enables the usage of less area and/or provides the capacity to handle higher data rates within a given heat budget. In at least some embodiments, a decoder chip employs multiple decoders that operate in parallel on a stream of overlapping data blocks, using add-compare-select operations, to obtain a sequence of state metrics representing a most likely path to each state. Each decoder passes information indicative of a selected end-state for a decoder operating on a preceding data block. Each decoder in turn receives, from a decoder operating on a subsequent data block, the information indicative of the selected end-state. The end-state information eliminates any need for post-data processing, thereby abbreviating the decoding process.
