  • Patent number: 10038506
    Abstract: A transceiver for fiber optic communications. The transceiver can include a transmitter module having a transmitter host interface configured to receive an input host signal; a transmitter framer configured to frame the input host signal and to generate a framed host signal; and a transmitter coder configured to encode the framed host signal to generate an encoded host signal for transmission over a communication channel. The transceiver can also include a receiver module having a bulk chromatic dispersion, fiber length estimation, and coarse carrier recovery circuit configured to equalize a digital input ingress signal to generate an equalized ingress signal; a receiver framer configured to frame the equalized ingress signal to generate a framed ingress signal; and a receiver host interface configured to output the framed ingress signal. The receiver host interface is compatible with a framing protocol of the receiver framer.

  • Publication number: 20060217098
    Abstract: A system for reducing power consumption of a local oscillator (LO) chain is disclosed. Embodiments of the system for reducing power consumption of a local oscillator chain include adjusting a bias control signal to the local oscillator depending on a noise parameter of the local oscillator. In one embodiment, the measured receive signal level is analyzed to derive an appropriate local oscillator bias control signal, which minimizes power consumption in the local oscillator.

  • Publication number: 20050258907
    Abstract: A phase-locked loop (PLL) is disclosed. One embodiment, among others, includes a PLL that provides a control current and varies the control current in proportion to an inverse of N squared. N is the ratio of the output frequency of the PLL system to the reference frequency of the PLL system. The varying of the control current compensates for bandwidth changes of the PLL system.
