Abstract:
1. A method of real time processing supported by a programmable control unit (RTP PCU), wherein sequential processing stages (SPS) operating at frequencies related to a frequency of a clock of a received signal are supported by the programmable control unit (PCU) in order to detect transitions of the received signal and recover data transmitted by the received signal; wherein such RTP PCU method comprises the steps of: using the SPS for said real time processing of the received signal wherein the SPS is driven with clocks having a known frequency relation to the received signal clock; using the PCU for supporting adaptive operations based on the real time processing performed by the SPS, wherein signals presenting results of the real time processing are sent by the SPS to the PCU and the results of the real time processing are analyzed and responded by the PCU by defining processing functions applied or supplying processing arguments used in the real time processing; using the SPS for detecting the transitions of the received signal and estimating phases of the received signal transitions; recovering the data transmitted by the received signal by utilizing the phases of the received signal transitions, wherein the recovery of the data is based on the known frequency relation.
