  • Patent number: 12046363
    Abstract: For a scalable filtering infrastructure, a library of filters each usable at different control rates is provided by defining filters in a continuous time mode despite eventual use for digital filtering. For implementation, a filter is selected and discretized for the desired control rate. The discretized filter is then deployed as a discrete time realization for convolution. In a distributed system with multiple control rates, the library may be used to more rapidly and conveniently generate the desired filters.

  • Patent number: 11962310
    Abstract: A receiver includes an interface, a delay line and circuitry. The interface receives data symbols and a clock signal for strobing the data symbols at selected positions. The delay line produces from the clock signal a middle sampling signal, and early and late sampling signals that respectively precedes and succeeds the middle sampling signal. The circuitry samples the data symbols using the middle, early and late sampling signals to produce early and late error signals. Based on the early and late error signals the delay line delays the middle, early and late sampling signals by separate delay values, so as to track both (i) a phase parameter indicative of a deviation between the middle sampling signal and the selected positions of the data symbols, and (ii) a width parameter indicative of a time duration of the data symbols, and to output the data symbols strobed using the middle sampling signal.
