Abstract: A transmitter's operation is characterized using components having relatively low cost and low complexity. A device includes comparator(s) that compare a transmitter's analog output to predetermined level(s) to generate count(s) associated with analog output range bin(s). Each of the predetermined levels is associated with a corresponding one of the analog output range bins. A transfer function of the transmitter is generated using the comparison count values associated with the analog output range bin(s). A histogram may be generated from the comparison count values associated with the various analog output range bins. An equalizer is implemented to process data that will be transmitted by the transmitter. The equalizer uses equalizer parameter(s) that are selected based on the characterization of the transmitter (e.g., its transfer function, its histogram, etc.). The equalizer may use default or start up parameters until the transmitter's operation is characterized.

Abstract translation: 发射机的操作特征在于使用具有相对较低成本和低复杂度的组件。 一种设备包括将发射机的模拟输出与预定电平进行比较以产生与模拟输出范围区相关联的计数的比较器。 每个预定电平与相应的一个模拟输出范围相关联。 使用与模拟输出范围bin相关联的比较计数值来生成发送器的传递函数。 可以从与各种模拟输出范围箱相关联的比较计数值生成直方图。 实现均衡器来处理将由发射机发射的数据。 均衡器使用基于发射机的表征选择的均衡器参数（例如，其传递函数，其直方图等）。 均衡器可以使用默认或启动参数，直到发射机的操作被表征为止。
