Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for continually adapting a channel equalizer that includes a precoder based on changing channel conditions. The precoder is described as being implemented in the exemplary context of a 10GBASE-T physical layer (PHY) device. 10GBASE-T is defined by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.3an standard and uses four pairs of copper transmission lines to provide an aggregate data rate of 10 gigabits per second. In this exemplary context, the system and method of the present disclosure are configured to exploit an undefined, auxiliary bit in the 10GBASE-T transmission frame to continually send updates to the coefficients of the precoder based on changing channel conditions. The updates can be sent in the transmission frames together with application-level data.

Abstract: Methods and systems to substantially eliminate effects of EMI burst noise in an Ethernet system are provided herein. The method includes the step of computing and storing filter coefficients configured to adapt to a range of EMI frequencies. The method further comprises the step of receiving a signal and detecting EMI and frequency of the EMI in the received signal. The method further comprises selecting filter coefficients corresponding to the determined frequency of the detected EMI and adjusting a frequency response of one or more filters using the selected filter coefficients so as to substantially eliminate effects of the EMI in the received signal. The method further includes the step of sending filter coefficients to a link partner corresponding to the frequency of the detected EMI.

Abstract: Aspects of a method and system for adaptive tone cancellation for mitigating the effects of interference are provided. In this regard, an Ethernet PHY may receive one or more signals via a corresponding one or more physical channels and generate one or more estimate signals, each of which approximates interference present in a corresponding one of the received signals. The Ethernet PHY may subtract each one of the estimate signals from a corresponding one of the received signals. The subtracting may occur at the input of one or more slicers in the Ethernet PHY. The received signals may be processed via one or more equalizers in the Ethernet PHY. A decision output of a slicer in the Ethernet PHY may be subtracted from one of the the one or more received signals, and a signal resulting from the subtraction may be utilized to generate the one or more estimate signals.

Abstract: An interference cancellation (IC) system and method for use within a 1553 communication system comprising a data bus carrying primary signals having a 1553 component and a non-1553 component are provided. The IC system has an input port, a 1553 data extraction block and an interference cancellation circuit with an interference measurement and a cancellation block. The interference measurement block receives 1553 decoded data from the 1553 data extraction block and a sampled primary signal via the input port, and, within an impulse response block, produces an interference signal based on a 1553 impulse response system model. The cancellation block subtracts the interference signal from the sampled primary signal and produces an output signal with the 1553 component substantially cancelled. Furthermore, an IC system using adaptive filtering techniques within the impulse response block is provided. The Least Mean Squares (LMS) algorithm can be used as an adaptive filter technique.
