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.

摘要:
A novel and useful mechanism for the mitigation of baseline wander from wired networks such as Ethernet. A high pass filter is inserted before the analog to digital converter having a pole within the range of 5-12 MHz. This eliminates the need for any other baseline wander removal schemes, whether analog or digital and provides sufficient performance in terms of noise budget.

Systems and methods for automatic gain control are disclosed. In one aspect of the invention, a system is provided that comprises a programmable gain amplifier that amplifies an input signal based on a gain signal. The system further comprises an analog-to-digital converter that generates at least one digital output signal from the amplified input signal, and an automatic gain control component that determines an adjustment of the gain signal based on a comparison of the at least one digital output signal to a predetermined maximum amplitude reference level.

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.

In frequency channel communications, constraints on transmit power characteristics can be complied with by implementing constellation shaping (15, 71) in the transmitter. In transmitters which use transmit filtering (91) to comply with constraints on transmit power characteristics, the transmitter can also implement, upstream of the transmit filter, precoding (92) designed for a desired cooperation with the transmit filter.
摘要:
A novel apparatus and method of packet re-sequencing applicable to systems wherein packets are assigned sequence numbers and transmitted over multiple channels with the requirement they be re-ordered at the receiving side. The mechanism is particularly suitable for use in cable systems adapted to implement the DOCSIS 3.0 specification which permits the bonding of a plurality of downstream channels into a single virtual high data rate pipe. In operation, received packets are stored in a memory whereby a pointer to the memory storage location is written into a context table diagram in accordance with the sequence number extracted from the packet. Packets are released in sequence order regardless of the order in which they were received.

摘要:
One embodiment of the present invention includes a method for controlling a gain of a wideband signal. The method comprises adding a virtual channel to the wideband signal, the wideband signal comprising at least one channel. The method also comprises monitoring an output power associated with the wideband signal that includes the at least one channel and the virtual channel. The method further comprises setting a gain factor to achieve a predetermined output power of the wideband signal and amplifying the wideband signal based on the gain factor.
