| 20080297213 | Signaling with Superimposed Clock and Data Signals - A data receiver circuit includes an interface to receive an input signal that includes a data signal and a clock signal superimposed on the data signal. The data signal has an associated symbol rate and an associated symbol period equal to the reciprocal of the associated symbol rate. The clock signal has a frequency N times the associated symbol rate, where N is an integer. A phase-locked loop (PLL) coupled to the interface extracts the clock signal from the input signal to provide an extracted clock signal. A phase interpolator adjusts the phase of the extracted clock signal to provide a phase-adjusted extracted clock signal. A sampling circuit samples the data signal at a sampling point. The sampling circuit is synchronized to the phase-adjusted extracted clock signal. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20080310491 | MULTI-MODE TRANSMITTER - A multi-mode transmitter within an integrated circuit device. The multi-mode transmitter transmits a first data sequence in a baseband signal when a first transmission mode is enabled, and transmits the first data sequence in a multi-band signal when a second transmission mode is enabled. | 12-18-2008 |
| 20090067537 | Adjustable Dual-Band Link - A communication system utilizing an adjustable link has at least a first data transmission circuit including at least a first communication link circuit. The first communication link circuit has a baseband circuit and at least a passband circuit. The baseband circuit corresponds to a baseband sub-channel and the passband circuit corresponds to a passband sub-channel. The first communication link circuit also includes a circuit that distributes a first subset of a data stream having a first symbol rate to the baseband circuit and a second subset of the data stream having a second symbol rate to the passband circuit. The baseband sub-channel and the passband sub-channel are separated by an adjacent guardband of frequencies. The passband carrier frequency is adjusted to define the guardband and the guardband corresponds to a first notch in a channel response of a first communications channel. | 03-12-2009 |

| 20110150051 | Multi-Tone System with Oversampled Precoders - A multi-tone system includes a data transmission circuit with an interface for receiving a data stream for transmission, a data steam splitter that splits the data stream to produce multiple substreams and a plurality of parallel data preparation circuits. Each data preparation circuit prepares a respective substream for transmission and generates a respective sub-channel signal. At least a first data preparation circuit of the plurality of parallel data preparation circuits includes a first analog filter for filtering a first substream. The first analog filter operates at a sample rate greater than the respective symbol rate of the first substream. The first analog filter provides pre-emphasis of the respective sub-channel signal and attenuation of signals outside of a respective band of frequencies corresponding to the respective sub-channel signal. The data transmission circuit also includes a combiner for combining respective sub-channel signals to generate a data transmission signal. | 06-23-2011 |
