Abstract:
1. A serial/deserializer transmission system, comprising: a plurality of demodulators, each of the plurality of demodulators receiving signals from one of a plurality of transmission bands that are transmitted on a single electrically differential conductive pair, at least one of the plurality of demodulators comprising: an analog down converter that converts an input signal from the one of the plurality of transmission bands to a base band; a filter coupled to receive signals from the down converter, the filter substantially filtering out signals not in the base band; an analog-to-digital converter coupled to receive signals from the filter and generate digitized signals; an equalizer coupled to receive the digitized signals; and a decoder coupled to receive signals from the equalizer and generate recreated data, the recreated data being substantially the same data transmitted by a corresponding modulator, wherein the plurality of demodulators recover a plurality of bits synchronously distributed across the plurality of transmission bands in the serial/deserializer transmission system, the plurality of demodulators being synchronous to each other.
