摘要:
The detection of symbols in digital burst transmissions is improved by an equalizer (30) that initializes the values of only a subset of its filter coefficients (C, D), and thereafter begins to decode the symbols using an iterative, decision directed algorithm that determines all of its filter coefficients. This can advantageously provide an acceptable trade-off between computational complexity and equalizer performance.
摘要:
A novel and useful baseline wander correction mechanism for use with transformer coupled baseband communication receivers. Parametric estimation of the transformer model is used estimate and cancel the baseline wander effect. A parametric model is used to model the baseline wander impairment created by the transmitter and receiver transformers as a high pass filter having an exponential decay parameter alpha. A correction signal for both the far end and echo signal paths are calculated and summed to generate a total correction signal. The total correction signal is partitioned into an analog correction signal that is applied to the analog portion of the communications receiver and into a digital correction signal that is similarly applied to the analog portion of the communications receiver.

A method is provided for automatically improving throughput of an active channel in a communication system comprising: receiving input from one or more modules that identify and characterize impairments in the active channel; monitoring the input to track changes in the impairments; and changing channel parameters to improve throughput on the channel based on the changes in the impairments.

摘要:
A system is provided to automatically estimate performance of a receiver for receiving input signals, the input signals having a carrier frequency and a baud rate, from a channel in a communication system and the effect of highly correlated noise cancellation on performance of the receiver, while no active transmission is occurring on the channel, comprising: a digital front end in the receiver for receiving samples of the input signals; a predictor coupled to the digital front end for predicting highly correlated noise in a second sample of the input signal; and a subtraction unit coupled to the predictor for subtracting the predictor output from the second sample to determine residual noise in the second sample. Other systems and methods are disclosed.
