Abstract:
A printed circuit board (PCB) includes a first dielectric layer and a differential cable structure embedded in the dielectric layer. The differential cable structure includes a first inner conductor, a second inner conductor, a dielectric surrounding portions of the first inner conductor and portions of the second inner conductor, and a ground shield surrounding the dielectric.
Abstract:
A transmitter comprising a noise signal generator, a summing element configured to generate a signal as a sum of an output of the noise signal generator and a transmit data signal, and a transmit driver configured to generate an output signal based on the sum. Also, a method of calibrating a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for a transmitter comprising transmitting a first signal comprising a data signal with no noise signal, capturing the first signal, transmitting a second signal comprising a noise signal, wherein both an amplitude and a phase of the noise signal have been adjusted by a gain and phase control element, capturing the second signal, and determining the SNR corresponding to the captured first signal and the captured second signal, wherein the transmitter transmits the second signal using a transmit driver.
Abstract:
A transmitter including a noise signal generator and a summing element is provided. The noise signal generator is configured to receive multiple noise settings and output multiple noise signals corresponding to the multiple noise settings. The summing element is configured to receive a transmit data signal and the multiple noise signals, sum one or more of the multiple noise signals with the transmit data signal, and output to a transmit driver configured to generate one of a single-ended and a differential signal based on the sum of the one or more of the multiple noise signals with the transmit data signal.
