Abstract:
1. A transmitter for aligning a first data signal with an alignment signal using feedback from the transmitter, the transmitter comprising: an alignment signal generator for generating an alignment signal; a first data signal generator for generating a first data signal, the first data signal generator comprising: a monitor for receiving the first data signal, the monitor integrated into the second arm of the first data signal generator to receive the complimentary signal; an alignment controller for receiving at least a portion of the complimentary signal from the monitor and generating a correction factor for adjusting a phase of the first data signal, wherein the alignment controller includes: a phase adjustor for applying a phase adjustment to the first data signal to adjust a phase of the first data signal with respect to a phase of the alignment signal based on the determined first signal error value, wherein the monitor, the alignment controller, and the phase adjustor form a feedback loop that accepts the portion of the complimentary signal and adjusts the phase of the first data signal to generate an updated complimentary signal.
