    Abstract: Adaptive equalizer circuitry including both a continuous time equalizer (CTE) and a discrete time equalizer (DTE) and a method of jointly adapting the CTE and DTE in lane adaptation. Jointly adaptation of the CTE and DTE is performed by adapting the DTE at each of a plurality of filter characteristic settings of the CTE and determining a figure of merit for signals filtered by the CTE and DTE at that condition. Adaptation of the DTE may be performed by dynamically adjusting a convergence coefficient based on a history of error gradients. After a figure of merit is determined for each of the plurality of CTE filter characteristics, a CTE filter characteristic setting is then selected based on those figure of merit values, for example at a CTE setting near a midpoint of an acceptable region of figure of merit values.

    Abstract: A digital up-converter (DUC) includes conjugate-mixer-combiner. The conjugate-mixer-combiner includes a pre-combiner configured to generate combinations of a first in-phase (I) value to be transmitted at a first frequency of a first frequency band, a first quadrature (Q) value to be transmitted at the first frequency of a first frequency band, a second I value for to be transmitted at a second frequency of a second frequency band, and a second Q value to be transmitted at the second frequency of a second frequency band. The conjugate-mixer-combiner further includes a plurality of multipliers collectively configured to shift the combinations based on an average difference between the first frequency and the second frequency.
