Abstract:
1. An apparatus including a crosstalk compensation engine for reducing signal crosstalk effects within a data signal, comprising: a plurality of input signal terminals that convey a plurality of demultiplexed data signals corresponding to a plurality of multiplexed data signals received via a signal transmission medium, wherein first and second ones of said plurality of demultiplexed data signals correspond to first and second ones of said plurality of multiplexed data signals, respectively, and said first demultiplexed data signal includes a first signal crosstalk product related to an interaction among at least said first and second ones of said plurality of multiplexed data signals within said signal transmission medium; an output signal terminal that conveys an output data signal corresponding to said first demultiplexed data signal and including a second signal crosstalk product corresponding to said first signal crosstalk product, wherein a ratio of said second signal crosstalk product and said output data signal is substantially less than another ratio of said first signal crosstalk product and said first demultiplexed data signal; and crosstalk compensation circuitry, coupled between said plurality of input signal terminals and said output signal terminal, that processes said plurality of demultiplexed data signals to provide said output data signal, wherein
