Receiver with Feed Forward Equalization - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240089154 titled 'Receiver with Feed Forward Equalization
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a receiver with feed-forward equalization, including a delay circuit, front-end circuit, sample circuit, and recovery circuit to process a serial data stream.
- The receiver includes a delay circuit with at least one t-coil circuit to generate delayed signals from the input signal.
- A front-end circuit processes the input signal and delayed signals to generate an equalized signal.
- A sample circuit samples the equalized signal to generate multiple samples.
- A recovery circuit generates recovered data symbols using the samples.
