Abstract: A method and apparatus of distortion compensation during data transmission uses an interweaved look-up table (ILUT) to mitigate residual signal distortions in a signal transmitted over a transmission link. The ILUT interweaves states across both an I and a Q tributary to calculate mean error and an extended symbol basis. As a result, the method works particularly well against two-dimensional distortions like nonlinearity, IQ-imbalance, and quadrature error. The method may be used for either pre-compensation when it is combined with k-means clustering in a transmitter or post-compensation when it is combined with maximum likelihood (ML) detection in a receiver.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure include signal processing methods to reduce crosstalk between signal lines of a channel bus using feed forward equalizers (FFEs) configured smear pulse response energy transmitted on signal lines of the channel to reduce pulse edge rates. The coefficients for the FFE may be based on crosstalk interference characteristics. Smearing or spreading pulse response energy across a longer time period using a FFE increases inter-symbol interference (ISI). To counter increased inter-symbol interference caused by smearing pulse response energy, receivers configured to recover symbol data transmitted on the channel bus may each include respective decision-feedback equalizers (DFEs) that are configured to filter ISI from transmitted symbols based on previous symbol decisions of the channel. The combination of the FFE configured to smear pulse responses and the DFE to filter ISI may improve data eye quality for recovery of transmitted data on a channel bus when crosstalk dominates noise.
