First Claim
1. A method for reducing effects of Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) in an Ethernet system, comprising:
- computing and storing filter coefficients corresponding to a range of EMI frequencies;
receiving a signal;
detecting the EMI in the received signal;
determining a frequency of the EMI;
selecting a subset of the stored filter coefficients for a Feed Forward Equalizer (FFE) and a Decision Feedback Equalizer (DFE) corresponding to the determined frequency of the EMI; and
adjusting a frequency response of the FFE and the DFE using the selected subset of the stored filter coefficients so as to reduce effects of the EMI in the received signal.

Abstract
Methods and systems to substantially eliminate effects of EMI burst noise in an Ethernet system are provided herein. The method includes the step of computing and storing filter coefficients configured to adapt to a range of EMI frequencies. The method further comprises the step of receiving a signal and detecting EMI and frequency of the EMI in the received signal. The method further comprises selecting filter coefficients corresponding to the determined frequency of the detected EMI and adjusting a frequency response of one or more filters using the selected filter coefficients so as to substantially eliminate effects of the EMI in the received signal. The method further includes the step of sending filter coefficients to a link partner corresponding to the frequency of the detected EMI.
