| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 8139630 | High-speed receiver architecture A receiver (e.g., for a 10 G fiber communications link) includes an interleaved ADC coupled to a multi-channel equalizer that can provide different equalization for different ADC channels within the interleaved ADC. That is, the multi-channel equalizer can compensat... | 03/20/2012 |
| 8111986 | Testing of transmitters for communication links by software simulation of reference channel and/or reference receiver A transmitter for a communications link is tested by using a (software) simulation of a reference channel and/or a reference receiver to test the transmitter. In one embodiment for optical fiber communications links, a data test pattern is applied to the transmitter... | 02/07/2012 |
| 8094056 | Analog-to-digital converter A lookahead pipelined ADC architecture uses open-loop residue amplifiers with calibration. This approach is able to achieve a high-speed, high-accuracy ADC with reduced power consumption. In one aspect, an ADC pipeline unit includes a plurality of lookahead pipeline... | 01/10/2012 |
| 8009981 | Testing of transmitters for communication links by software simulation of reference channel and/or reference receiver A transmitter for a communications link is tested by using a (software) simulation of a reference channel and/or a reference receiver to test the transmitter. In one embodiment for optical fiber communications links, a data test pattern is applied to the transmitter... | 08/30/2011 |
| 7853149 | Transmitter frequency peaking for optical fiber channels Frequency peaking is used in the transmitter to improve link performance. In one example, frequency peaking improves the PIED or TWDP. The frequency peaking can result in pulse shapes that have more electrical energy in the receiver (and therefore higher ... | 12/14/2010 |
| 7852913 | High-speed receiver architecture A receiver (e.g., for a 10 G fiber communications link) includes an interleaved ADC coupled to a multi-channel equalizer that can provide different equalization for different ADC channels within the interleaved ADC. That is, the multi-channel equalizer can compensat... | 12/14/2010 |
| 7808417 | Analog-to-digital converter A lookahead pipelined ADC architecture uses open-loop residue amplifiers with calibration. This approach is able to achieve a high-speed, high-accuracy ADC with reduced power consumption. In one aspect, an ADC pipeline unit includes a plurality of lookahead pipeline... | 10/05/2010 |
| 7778320 | Multi-channel equalization to compensate for impairments introduced by interleaved devices A system includes a time-interleaved device. An equalizer effectively can apply different equalization to different interleaved channels. For convenience, these equalizers will be referred to as multi-channel equalizers. In one aspect, an apparatus includes an inter... | 08/17/2010 |
| 7664394 | Testing of receivers with separate linear O/E module and host used in communication links A receiver for a communications link includes a receiver module and a host receiver. These two components can be tested independently. In one embodiment, the receiver module is characterized with respect to noise and distortion. The noise performance can be determin... | 02/16/2010 |
| 7643752 | Testing of transmitters for communication links by software simulation of reference channel and/or reference receiver A transmitter for a communications link is tested by using a (software) simulation of a reference channel and/or a reference receiver to test the transmitter. In one embodiment for optical fiber communications links, a data test pattern is applied to the transmitter... | 01/05/2010 |
