Methods and systems are provided for an improved phase detector utilizing analog-to-digital converter (ADC) components. In an embodiment, the method includes from an ADC having a sampling clock signal that determines sampling instants, obtaining a first comparison value between an analog signal and a first threshold voltage at a first sampling instant, and obtaining a second comparison value between the analog signal and a second threshold voltage at a second sampling instant. The method further includes, from a supplemental circuit, obtaining a third comparison value between the analog signal and a third threshold voltage at a third sampling instant between the first and second sampling instants. The method further includes processing the first, second, and third comparison values to determine a phase relationship between the analog signal and the sampling clock.

An example method includes receiving a phase correction signal representing a phase difference between a source signal and a reference signal, generating a first control voltage from the phase correction signal using a charge pump circuit, generating a second control voltage from the phase correction signal in response to a digitally filtered version of the phase correction signal, wherein the second control voltage corrects for an offset error present in the first control voltage, calculating a VCO control signal based on a linear combination of the first and the second control voltages; and generating the source signal in response to the VCO control signal.

A high-speed optical transmitter comprises multiple digital lanes that are provided to a bank of digital-to-analog converters. The analog signals are then used to Phase Shift Keyed (PSK) modulation using a Chirp Managed Laser (CML)-based transmitter, and potentially using dual polarization. A corresponding optical receiver receives the sequence of optical signals at a demodulator. For each polarization, the demodulator includes a corresponding demodulation channel that is configured to demodulate that polarization component of the optical signal into one or more signal components. Each of these signal components is converted into a corresponding digital signal using a corresponding analog-to-digital converter. In the case of higher-order PSK modulation (e.g., 8PSK or higher), for each polarization, the analog converter has a lower sampling rate than for QPSK modulation.

摘要:
A system and method is disclosed for controlling signal conditioning parameters and a sampling parameter controlling conversion of a received signal to digital sampled values prior to decoding. The sampled values are decoded according to a comparison with expected values calculated according to a model of a transmission channel. The model is also updated from time to time by comparing the expected values with actual sampled values. Variation of the expected values over time is calculated. One or more of the signal conditioning parameters and the sampling parameter are adjusted according to a numerical minimization method such that the system BER is reduced.

A method for generating D-N-PSK optical signals is disclosed wherein a laser is modulated to generate optical signal pairs including phase modulated and fixed phase portions, the phase modulated portions having a frequency encoding one or more data symbols and the fixed phase portion having a carrier frequency and a phase corresponding to the immediately preceding phase modulated portion. The output of the laser is passed through an optical spectrum reshaper having a transmission function chosen to attenuate a plurality of the phase modulated portions relative to the fixed phase portions. The phase modulated portions may have N frequency levels located on either side of the carrier frequency. One of the N frequency levels may be equal to the carrier frequency.
摘要:
A method and device employing an iterative MMSE equalization-decoder soft information exchange decoding. The method uses a MMSE equalizer which receives and outputs soft information. The equalizer exchanges soft information with a soft input soft output decoder, preferably an error correction decoder. The nature of the equalizer permits solutions beyond one-dimensional data streams and permits solutions for long channel lengths and multi-dimensional data since the solution is not a function of the channel impulse response.
