    Abstract: In a method for recovering clock and data from T1 signals, an analog T1 signal is compared with positive and negative thresholds to obtain a positive bipolar signal and a negative bipolar signal. From the bipolar signals, pulses whose duration is below a minimum width value v1 are removed to obtain positive and negative filtered signals. The filtered signals are processed to obtain edge signals. Pulses of the edge signals correspond to transitions of the filtered signals after an inactivity period greater than a minimum inactivity value v2. From the filtered signals, long pulses having a duration greater than a long pulse value v3 are detected to obtain a long pulse signal. A recovered clock signal is recovered by dividing a high-frequency reference clock down to a lower frequency value, and by synchronizing the recovered clock signal with the edge signals and with the long pulse signal. From the filtered signals, recovered data signals triggered by the recovered clock signal are recovered.
