Abstract:
1. A system comprising: a data detector configured to generate a recovered data signal from a phase-equalized signal based on transmitted data in the phase-equalized signal; a phase-distortion detector, the phase-distortion detector being configured to: an integrator configured to generate a phase-equalize-level signal based on the phase-distortion-level signal; and a phase equalizer configured to adjust a transmitted-data signal based on the phase-equalize-level signal, the adjustment of the transmitted-data signal providing the phase-equalized signal or a phase pre-distorted signal configured to be distorted into the phase-equalized signal by transmission across a communication channel, the transmitted-data signal comprising the transmitted data, and wherein the data detector and the phase-distortion detector sample the phase-equalized signal using different clock signals.
