  • Patent number: 6473131
    Abstract: A system includes a signal reconstruction controller (110) electrically coupled to at least one analog-to-digital converter (ADC) (112) and to a phase adjustable clock source (108). A sampling clock signal (116) is electrically coupled from the clock source (108) to the at least one ADC (112). The at least one ADC (112) samples an electronic signal according to the sampling clock signal (116) to provide a digital representation of the electronic signal. The controller (110) samples data from the ADC (112) at different sampling points in the electronic signal and determines the edges (140) of the electronic signal and the noisy samples (142, 144) that are away from the edges (140) of the electronic signal. By finding the least noisy sample (146, 148) that is away from the edges (140) of the electronic signal the controller (110) adjusts the phase of a sampling signal clock (116) to a sampling point that is the most reliable to sample the electronic signal to provide a digital representation thereof.
