    摘要: In described embodiments, a Decision Feed Forward Equalizer (DFFE) comprises a hybrid architecture combining features of a Feed Forward Equalizer (FFE) and a Decision Feedback Equalizer (DFE). An exemplary DFFE offers relatively improved noise and crosstalk immunity than an FFE implementation alone, and relatively lower burst error propagation than a DFE implementation alone. The exemplary DFFE is a relatively simple implementation due few or no critical feedback paths, as compared to a DFE implementation alone. The exemplary DFFE allows for a parallel implementation of its DFE elements without an exponential increase in the hardware for higher numbers of taps. The exemplary DFFE allows for cascading, allowing for progressive improvement in BER, at relatively low implementation cost as a solution to achieve multi-tap DFE performance.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method and system that adapts coefficients of taps of a Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter to increase elimination of Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI) introduced into a digital communications signal due to distortion characteristics caused by a real-world communications channel. In the communications system there is a Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter. The FIR filter has at least one pre and/or post cursor tap that removes pre and/or post cursor ISI from the signal, respectively. The pre/post cursor taps each have pre/post cursor coefficients, respectively, that adjusts the effect of the pre/post cursor portion of the FIR filter. The FIR filtered signal is transmitted over the channel which distorts the signal due to the changing and/or static distortion characteristics of the channel. The channel distorted signal is received at a receiver that may pass the channel distorted signal through a quantifier/decision system (e.g., a slicer) as the quantifier input signal to quantify the quantifier input signal to one of multiple digital values. The channel distorted signal may be further adjusted by summing the channel distorted signal with the output of a Decision Feedback Equalizer (DFE) filter to create a DFE corrected signal which then becomes the quantifier input signal. An error signal is determined by finding the difference between the scaled quantifier decision and the quantifier input signal. The pre/post cursor coefficient values that adjust the effects of the pre/post cursor taps of the FIR filter are updated as a function of the error signal and at least two quantifier decision values, and update coefficient values, may be sent over a communications back-channel to the FIR filter.

    摘要: Described embodiments adjust configurable parameters of at least one filter of a communication system. The method includes conditioning, by an analog front end (AFE) of a receiver in the communication system, an input signal applied to the receiver. Sampled values of the conditioned input signal are generated and digitized. An error detection module generates an error signal based on digitized values of the input signal and a target value. A decision feedback equalizer generates an adjustment signal based on the digitized values of the input signal and values of the error signal. A summer subtracts the adjustment signal from the conditioned input signal, generating an adjusted input signal. An adaptation module determines a conditional adaptation signal based on a comparison of sampled values of the adjusted input signal and values of the error signal. The adaptation module adjusts a transfer function of at least one filter based on the conditional adaptation signal.

    摘要: In described embodiments, filter parameters for a filter applied to a signal in, for example, a Serializer/De-serializer (SerDes) receiver and/or transmitter are generated based on real-time monitoring of a data eye. The real-time eye monitor monitors data eye characteristics of the signal present in a data path, the data path applying the filter to the signal. The eye monitor generates eye statistics from the monitored data eye characteristics and an adaptive controller generates a set of parameters for the filter of the data path for statistical calibration of the data eye, wherein the eye monitor continuously monitors the data eye and the adaptive controller continuously generates the set of parameters based on the eye statistics.
