    Abstract: A transmitter for a communications link is tested by using a (software) simulation of a reference channel and/or a reference receiver to test the transmitter. In one embodiment for optical fiber communications links, a data test pattern is applied to the transmitter under test and the resulting optical output is captured, for example by a sampling oscilloscope. The captured waveform is subsequently processed by the software simulation, in order to simulate propagation of the optical signal through the reference channel and/or reference receiver. A performance metric for the transmitter is calculated based on the processed waveform.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for digital-to-analog conversion are disclosed. In one embodiment, an electronic system includes a bias circuit and a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) including an input that receives a digital input signal and an output that drives a transmission line. The digital input signal can be used to control a magnitude and polarity of an output current of the DAC. The DAC further includes one or more p-type metal oxide semiconductor (PMOS) termination transistors that receive a first bias voltage from the bias circuit and one or more n-type metal oxide semiconductor (NMOS) termination transistors that receive a second bias voltage from the bias circuit. The bias circuit controls the voltage levels of the first and second bias voltages to control the termination transistors' small signal resistance to actively terminate the DAC's output.

    Abstract: An optical communication system provides coherent optical transmission for metro applications. Relative to conventional solutions, the optical communication system can be implemented with reduced cost and can operate with reduced power consumption, while maintaining high data rate performance (e.g., 100 G). Furthermore, a programmable transceiver enables compatibility with a range of different types of optical networks having varying performance and power tradeoffs. In one embodiment, the optical communication system uses 100 Gb/s dual-polarization 16-point quadrature amplitude modulation (DP-16QAM) with non-linear pre-compensation of Indium Phosphide (InP) optics for low power consumption.

    Abstract: A receiver applies a calibration method to compensate for skew between input channels. The receiver skew is estimated by observing the coefficients of an adaptive equalizer which adjusts the coefficients based on time-varying properties of the multi-channel input signal. The receiver skew is compensated by programming the phase of the sampling clocks for the different channels. Furthermore, during real-time operation of the receiver, channel diagnostics is performed to automatically estimate differential group delay and/or other channel characteristics based on the equalizer coefficients using a frequency averaging or polarization averaging approach. Framer information can furthermore be utilized to estimate differential group delay that is an integer multiple of the symbol rate. Additionally, a DSP reset may be performed when substantial signal degradation is detected based on the channel diagnostics information.
