  • Systems and methods for control of receivers
    Patent number: 8514910
    Abstract: A controller for advanced receivers configures a plurality of advanced receiver modules based on figures of merit computed on the input signal. The controller also selects the appropriate output signal based on figures of merit of either the input or the output signals. The controller decisions can also be made in a bursty manner, where only a subset of the decisions to be made are made at a given time, thereby limiting the processing load of the control processor.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 2, 2012
    Date of Patent: August 20, 2013
    Assignee: Rambus Inc.
    Inventors: Brian Lee Roberts, Kenneth C Grobaski, Anand P Narayan
