Problems solved by technology

However, with this approach, noise associated with the signal is averaged out and the noise is not factored in for the equalization.
As such, employing signal levels as a metric for tuning a transmitter is generally not an optimal technique for tuning the transmitter.

Abstract

Embodiments are disclosed for a sequence selective symbol checker for communication systems. An example method includes configuring a symbol checker of a receiver with first binary sequence data generated by a symbol generator of the receiver. The example method also includes comparing, using the symbol checker, second binary sequence data provided by a transmitter to the first binary sequence data to generate error count data related to a number of errors for symbols associated with the second binary sequence data. The example method also includes determining total count data related to a number of symbols associated with the first binary sequence data. The example method also includes determining error ratio data associated with the transmitter based on the error count data and the total count data.

Description

TECHNOLOGICAL FIELD[0001]Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to a method and apparatus for symbol-error-rate based tuning of transmitters and receivers.BACKGROUND[0002]Communication systems are generally composed of a transmitter, a receiver, and a channel. The transmitter generates a signal conveying information, which, after being transmitted over a channel, is received and recovered at the receiver. Information in the form of symbols embedded in the signal is generally set by the transmitter, and the symbol frequency, symbol phase, and symbol timing may be recovered by the receiver. Furthermore, communication systems often employ modulation to vary properties of a signal being transmitted by a transmitter. A common type of modulation is pulse-amplitude-modulation (PAM) that encodes information via an amplitude of a signal.[0003]In a Pulse-Amplitude-Modulated, n-Level, (PAMn) optical or electrical signaling system, the transmitter generally employs equalization t...
