摘要:
An adaptive signal equalizer with a feedforward filter in which the feedback error signal and corresponding incoming data signal are dynamically aligned in time using signal interpolation, and further, to control the precursor/postcursor filter taps configuration, thereby producing more adaptive filter tap coefficient signals for significantly improved and robust signal equalization.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for adaptively introducing a compensating signal latency related to a signal latency of a data symbol decision circuit. Adaptive timing control circuitry, including an interpolating mixer implemented as a tapped delay line with correlated tap coefficients, introduces a latency adaptively and substantially matching the latency of the data decision circuit for use within an adaptive equalizer, thereby minimizing the mean-squared error of such decision circuit. This adaptive latency is used in generating the feedback error signal which, in turn, can be used by the feedforward equalizer for dynamically adjusting its adaptive filter tap coefficients.
摘要:
A continuous time electronic dispersion compensation architecture using feed forward equalization and a non-linear decision feedback equalization forms an output signal by a linear combination of successively delayed versions of the input signal and the sliced output signal weighted by appropriate coefficients. A selected number of taps in the mixer used to generate a corresponding number of coefficients for use in the feed forward equalizer are held to a selected voltage to ensure that the coefficients associated with these two taps do not drift. This causes the other coefficients to converge to a unique minimum square error value. In one embodiment the selected voltage is the maximum system voltage.

An adaptive coefficient signal generator for use in an adaptive signal equalizer with fractionally-spaced feedback. The signals representing the feedback tap coefficients are generated in conjunction with a timing interpolation parameter such that the fractionally-spaced feedback circuitry dynamically emulates symbol-spaced feedback circuitry.

摘要:
Systems and methods provide analog delay elements, which may be utilized in isolation or in a cascade. For example, a delay element may include a broadband amplifier and a passive, programmable filter, which may provide a desired magnitude and group delay response over a wide frequency range while being tolerant of process variations.

Systems and methods provide analog delay elements, which may be utilized in isolation or in a cascade, such as for use within equalizers or other types of applications. For example, a delay element may include a broadband amplifier and a passive, programmable filter, which may provide a desired magnitude and group delay response over a wide frequency range while being tolerant of process variations. An equalizer, for example, may include the delay element within its feed forward filter and/or within its other circuits, such as within its adaptive coefficient generator or slicer input time-align circuit.
