  • Publication number: 20230155809
    Abstract: An apparatus for generating a data stream according to an embodiment is provided. The apparatus is configured to generate the data stream, such that the data stream has header data and payload data. The apparatus is configured to generate the header data such that the header data comprises a synchronization header. Moreover, the apparatus is configured to generate the synchronization header using binary coding. Furthermore, the apparatus is configured to generate the synchronization header such that the synchronization header comprises a synchronization sequence being a predefined bit sequence having a plurality of bits.

  • Publication number: 20210409510
    Abstract: An apparatus for transmitting a plurality of data streams is provided, having a scheduling unit for selecting a data stream as a selected data stream and a transmission unit for transmitting the selected data stream. The scheduling unit is configured to select the selected data stream depending on scheduling information and a counter value, the scheduling information having a plurality of scheduling elements. A data stream is assigned to each scheduling element, wherein the data stream information of the scheduling element is data stream information for the data stream assigned to the scheduling element. A selection criterion is fulfilled or not fulfilled depending on the selection information of each scheduling element and the counter value. Depending on an order of the plurality of scheduling elements, the scheduling unit is configured to select, as the selected data stream, a data stream, which is assigned to a selection element, for which the selection criterion is fulfilled.

  • Patent number: 10355892
    Abstract: A transmitter for transmitting an output signal includes first and second filter structures. The first filter structure includes a first combiner to extend a first data signal by a first reference signal to obtain a first extended data signal, and a first IIR filter for filtering the first extended data signal to obtain a first filtered data signal. The second filter structure includes a second combiner to extend a second data signal by a second reference signal, and a second IIR filter for filtering the second extended data signal. The transmitter includes a multiplexer for combining the first and second filtered data signals to obtain the output signal. A system response of the first IIR filter based on the first reference signal corresponds to a system response of the second IIR filter based on the second reference signal.

  • Publication number: 20160042840
    Abstract: A high-speed data cable including at least one core pair, wherein a conductive shielding surrounds the cores and an insulating cable cladding encloses the conductive shielding. Each of the cores includes at least three electric conductors arranged in a twisted manner equidistantly to a longitudinal center axis of the respective core. On its outer surface, each of the conductors abuts on an insulating material, wherein the conductors of the respective core run separately from each other through the insulating material.
