Processing circuit with asymmetry corrector and convolutional encoder for digital data

摘要

A processing circuit (P) is provided for correcting for input parameter variations, such as data and clock signal asymmetry, phase offset and jitter, noise and signal amplitude, in incoming data signals. An asymmetry corrector circuit (C) performs the correcting function and furnishes the corrected data signals to a convolutional encoder circuit (E). The corrector circuit (C) further forms a regenerated clock signal from clock pulses in the incoming data signals and another clock signal at a multiple of the incoming clock signal. These clock signals are furnished to the encoder circuit (E) so that encoded data may be furnished to a modulator (M) at a high data rate for transmission.
