    摘要: The disclosed filter structure employs parallel first and second input signal data paths. The first data path includes a digital Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter having a small number of non-zero multiplier coefficients to define its theoretical impulse frequency response. The second data path includes plural series filters including (1) a digital FIR or Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filter including a reduced-number of designer-chosen non-zero multiplier coefficients that tend to introduce error sources in the physical-realized filter structure's impulse frequency response and (2) a set of one or more frequency stop filters, each of which permits zero signal transmission therethrough at a different selected frequency. This arrangement anchors the frequency response value of the filter structure near each of the different selected frequencies of the set substantially at the corresponding theoretical impulse frequency response value of the digital FIR filter of the first data path near that one of the plurality of different selected frequencies of the set. The summed outputs of the first and second data paths is the filter output.

    摘要: A complex switched capacitor filter is formed by selecting an analog baseband prototype filter with the desired filter characteristics. This prototype is converted into a corresponding real switched capacitor filter, and finally the real switched capacitor filter is converted into a complex switched capacitor filter by replacing each element of real filter by a frequency shifted complex counterpart.

    摘要: Electrical filter or signal processor circuits are provided with internal companding for reduced sensitivity to noise while input-output response is as conventionally specified. In the continuous-time case, for a specified circuit described by state equations with a state vector x(t), state equations are derived of an equivalent companding circuit having a state vector w(t)=G(t)x(t), where G(t) is a suitably chosen matrix. G(t) may be chosen for instantaneous or syllabic companding of the state vector. A corresponding technique applies to discrete-time circuits.

The FIR filter includes a plurality of sample and hold circuits. Each sample and hold circuit samples an input signal sequentially at a clock rate. At least one set of multiple multipliers is coupled to the plurality of sample and hold circuits. Each multiplier multiplies a sample by a predefined value and provides a multiplier product at the clock rate. At least a pair of summing functions are coupled to the set of multipliers. Each summing function adds a predetermined combination of respective multiplier products and provides at least a pair of interleave outputs. Each of the interleave outputs is provided at less than the clock rate.

    摘要: A single analog filter structure within a partial response channel combines an antialias low pass filter and a time domain waveform shaping equalizer upstream of a digital sampler. The filter also improves latencies associated with timing acquisition of a sampler clock generator loop by removing the latency of a separate equalization filter. The filter also provides a method for adapting a combination of internal filter state voltages and currents in real time for optimizing pole locations of the analog filter structure, during both data and timing recovery operations of the channel.

    摘要: An eye diagram analyzer equips each SUT data and clock signal input channel with individually variable delays in their respective paths. For a range of signal delay of n-many SUT clock cycles, the SUT clock signal delay might be set at about n/2. For each data channel there is specified a point in time relative to an instance of the delayed clock signal (data signal delay) and a voltage threshold. The specified combination (data signal delay, threshold and which channel) is a location on an eye diagram, although the trace may or may not ever go through that location. A counter counts the number of SUT clock cycles used as instances of the reference for the eye diagram, and another counter counts the number of times the specified combination of conditions was met (“hits”). After watching a specified combination for the requisite length of time or number of events, the number of SUT clock cycles involved and the associated number of hits are stored in memory using a data structure indexed by the components of the specified combination (data signal delay, threshold). Next, a new combination of data signal delay and threshold is specified and a measurement taken and recorded in the data structure. The process is repeated until all possible combinations within a stated range of data signal delay and threshold voltage (using specified resolution/step sizes for delay and voltage) have been investigated. As this process proceeds under the control of firmware within the logic analyzer, other firmware can be examining the data structure and generating a partial eye diagram visible on a display, and that will be complete soon after the measurement itself is finished.

    摘要: A second order filter-delay element for use in a generalized analog transversal equalizer is described which provides phase and group delay responses equivalent to low-pass filters of third and fourth order. In addition, the filter-delay element provides sufficient values of delays required for proper operations of the analog generalized transversal equalizer despite having a low order. In addition, a method of generating the lower order filter-delay element is described. Also, a circuit embodying an active C-transconductor realization of a second order filter-delay element for use in a generalized analog transversal equalizer with a transfer function designed as a result of performing the method is described.
