  • Patent number: 7388909
    Abstract: An initialization method for a network system is disclosed, which uses a channel estimation to predetermine coefficients of an FFE and an FBE. As such, convergence of the FFE, the FBE, a timing recovery, an echo canceller and a NEXT canceller is speeded up.

  • Patent number: 7342982
    Abstract: A transceiver of a communication system is disclosed. The transceiver is implemented by a demodulation apparatus including a front-end receiver, a noise canceller, a feedforward equalizer (FFE) and a decoding system. The front-end receiver receives a remote signal and converts it into a first signal with a pre-cursor and a post-cursor in digital form. The noise canceller is coupled to the front-end receiver for subtracting a noise signal from the first signal and thus generates a second signal. The FFE is coupled to the noise canceller for eliminating the pre-cursor in the second signal and thus generates a third signal. The decoding system is coupled to the FFE for decoding the third signal and eliminating the post-cursor in the third signal.

  • Publication number: 20070211643
    Abstract: A method applied to a wired network including a first network device and a second network device is disclosed. The first and second network devices each include a first set of connection ends and a second set of connection ends. Firstly, the first network device transmits a specific signal pattern through its first set and second set of connection ends. Then, the first network device detects whether a signal is received at its first set and second set of connection ends. If it is determined that a signal is not received at the first set connection ends while a signal is received at the second set connection ends, the first network device determines that its second set of connection ends is not correctly coupled to the second set of connection ends of the second network device.
