Abstract:
1. A system, comprising: a side band transmission module configured to combine side band data with a clock signal to generate a modified clock signal; and a serializer configured to provide an initial waveform corresponding to serialized input data, wherein, to modulate the serialized input data, the modified clock signal adjusts at least one of a leading edge or a falling edge of N half cycles of the initial waveform based on the side band data to form a modified waveform, the modified waveform having pulses with at least one of an increased pulsed width and a decreased pulse width with respect to the initial waveform, wherein the serializer is configured to output the modified waveform, and wherein N is greater than or equal to 1, wherein the side band transmission module comprises a phase shaping module configured to generate a phase signal representation of the side band data, and wherein the phase shaping module comprises: a shift module configured to cycle through data bits of the side band data; a lookup-table configured to provide sinusoidal waveforms for each of the data bits of the side band data; and a combination module configured to combine the data bits of the side band data with the sinusoidal waveforms.
