Method and apparatus to recover data from pulses
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for recovering data from a signal, said signal comprising a plurality of groups of pulses, the system comprising:
- detection means for detecting one of said groups of pulses;
measurement means, coupled to said detection means, for measuring one or more parameters which characterize said one of said groups of pulses; and
symbol means, coupled to said measurement means, for mapping said one or more of said parameters to an information symbol, said measurement means comprising;
first and second pipelines, each having an input and an output, each configured to produce measurements for two or more groups of pulses, said second pipeline further configured to provide a delay of one group;
a first delay unit coupled to said first pipeline output;
a second delay unit coupled to said second pipeline output; and
a decision component having an input, said first and second delay units coupled to said input, said first and second delay units configured to provide a delay during processing of said two or more groups of pulses.

Abstract
Methods and corresponding apparatus to recover data from a signal comprising groups of pulses generated in response to analog waveforms are described. Data recovery in accordance with the invention is based on parameters characterizing the groups of pulses. These parameters are the basis for mapping the groups of pulses to information symbols which collectively constitute the data to be recovered.
