Unequal spacing on multilevel signals
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- determining a dispersion slope of a channel between a transmitter and a receiver based on a temperature of the transmitter and a wavelength used by the transmitter to transmit signals over the channel;
determining a maximum power and a minimum power for transmission over the channel;
assigning a first rail to a first power level equal to the maximum power, a second rail to a second power level between the maximum power and the minimum power, a third rail to a third power level between the second power level and the minimum power, and a fourth rail to a fourth power level equal to the minimum power, wherein amplitude differences between the first, second, third, and fourth rails are based on the dispersion slope and produce a first eye pattern with a first Ratio of Level Mismatch (RLM) less than one;
encoding, by the transmitter, data onto a conditioned signal according to the first, second, third, and fourth rails; and
transmitting the conditioned signal from the transmitter to the receiver over the channel, so that the conditioned signal demonstrates a second eye pattern with a second RLM greater than the first RLM when received at the receiver.

Abstract
The present disclosure provides signal management with unequal eye spacing by: sending, from a local transmitter, first and second signals with different first and second known eye patterns to a remote receiver over a channel; sending temperature data of the local transmitter and operating wavelength data of the first and second signals to the remote receiver over the channel; receiving, from the remote receiver, tuning parameters based on a dispersion of the channel based on a first difference between the first known eye pattern as transmitted and as received and a second difference between the second known eye pattern as transmitted and as received; and adjusting transmission rail values used to encode data for transmission over the channel by the local transmitter based on the tuning parameters to produce a conditioned signal for transmission with an unequally spaced eye pattern.
