A baseline wander correcting unit is provided in a processing path in which a predetermined processing is performed on an input signal. The baseline wander correcting unit includes a baseline wander derivation unit which derives an amount of wander of baseline of a signal on which the predetermined processing has been performed, and an adjustment unit which adjusts an amount of wander of the baseline derived by the baseline wander derivation unit and outputs a baseline correction amount, so that the baseline wander correcting unit corrects the baseline wander by a feedforward control. The correction by the feedforward control ensures the baseline wander in the event of an instantaneous wander.

A circuit for correcting baseline wander in a transmitter which includes a main signal current driver driving a first winding of a two-winding transformer which first winding is in parallel with a termination impedance matching load, in which a compensation current driver is coupled in parallel with the main signal current driver for adding its current to current of the main signal current driver. A correction signal control input is provided to the compensation driver. A sample-and-hold circuit is connected across the first winding, an error amplifier having a first pair of inputs is connected across the first winding and a second pair of inputs are connected to the output of the sample and hold circuit. These provide an error signal resulting from a difference of signals appearing at its respective pairs of inputs. A circuit is provided for applying the error signal to the correction signal control input of the compensation current driver, whereby any difference between a present signal carried by the first winding of the transformer, and a past signal held by the sample-and-hold circuit, results in an error signal and generation of a correcting current by the compensation current driver so as to substantially eliminate the difference.

A device and method for correcting the baseline wandering of transmitting signals are disclosed. The present method and device are used to correct the baseline wandering of the first output terminal and the second output terminal of a receiver as a result of induction effect of the transformer. The present device comprises a compensation current source including a first compensation output terminal and a second compensation output terminal which are respectively connected to the first output terminal and the second output terminal of the receiver. The device further includes a voltage signal generator for generating a control voltage to control the compensation current source. The voltage signal generator employs the voltage difference of the first output terminal and the second output terminal of the receiver and a reference voltage to control the control voltage. Thereby, the compensation current value of the compensation current source is supplied to the first output terminal and the second output terminal of the receiver and is used to correct the baseline wandering.

A novel and useful baseline wander correction mechanism for use with transformer coupled baseband communication receivers. Parametric estimation of the transformer model is used estimate and cancel the baseline wander effect. A parametric model is used to model the baseline wander impairment created by the transmitter and receiver transformers as a high pass filter having an exponential decay parameter alpha. A correction signal for both the far end and echo signal paths are calculated and summed to generate a total correction signal. The total correction signal is partitioned into an analog correction signal that is applied to the analog portion of the communications receiver and into a digital correction signal that is similarly applied to the analog portion of the communications receiver.

A signal processing apparatus includes a first baseline wander correcting unit, provided in a processing path in which a predetermined processing is performed on an input signal, which corrects baseline wander by a feedforward and a second baseline wander correcting unit, provided anterior to the first baseline wander unit, which corrects the baseline wander by a feedback control. The first baseline wander correcting unit derives an amount of baseline wander. Further, it calculates a value corresponding to an average value of the amount of derived baseline wander and fine-adjusts a correction amount of baseline. Then it corrects the baseline wander by using the fine-adjusted baseline amount. The second baseline wander correcting unit calculates a value corresponding to an average value of the amount of baseline wander derived by the baseline wander derivation unit and coarse-adjusts a correction amount of baseline, and corrects the baseline wander by using the coarse-adjusted baseline amount. The fine correcting by the first baseline wander correcting unit and the coarse correcting by the second baseline correcting unit ensure efficient correction of baseline wander.

A communication system for transmitting and receiving a sequence of bits, and the methodology for transferring that sequence of bits are provided. The communication system includes a transmitting circuit and a receiving circuit. Within the transmitting circuit is a scrambler that comprises a shift register, an enable circuit, and an output circuit. The shift register temporarily stores n bits within the sequence of bits, and the enable circuit enables the shift register to store bits that arise only within the payload section of a frame. The output circuit includes a feedback, and several taps within the n stages to scramble logic values within the sequence of n bits output from the shift registers thus effectively preventing in most instances the sequence of bits from exceeding n number of the same logic value. Within the receiving circuit is a descrambler also having a shift register, an enable circuit, and an output circuit. The descrambler recompiles the scrambled data back to its original form. The scrambler is preferably placed before an encoder in the transmission path to minimize data dependent, low frequency jitter. The encoder is used to place a coding violation into the frame to signal the beginning of each frame, and to encode the parity with an offset against any DC accumulation of the coding violation and the scrambled payload to eliminate all DC accumulation (baseline wander) within each frame.

In a receiver, an AC-coupling solution uses a fully integrated circuit for simultaneously providing both baseline wander compensation and common-mode voltage generation. Usefully, an integrated capacitor is placed between the receiver input pin and the input buffer, and a high resistive impedance element is connected to the internal high-speed data node after the capacitor. An on-chip voltage generation and correction circuit is connected to the other side of the impedance element to generate a common-mode voltage, and to provide dynamic, fine adjustment for the received data voltage level. The voltage correction circuit is controlled by the feedback of data detected by the clock and data recovery unit (CDRU) of the receiver. The feedback data passes through a weighting element, wherein the amount of feedback gain is adjustable to provide a summing weight and thereby achieve a desired BLW compensation. Register bits are used to control an on-chip reference voltage generator that consists of a resistor ladder to generate the reference voltage.

In a perpendicular magnetic recording system, the data that is being written by the write channel is fed back into the read channel. The read channel processes the data and decides if the written sequence is likely to have very poor DC characteristics. If that is the case, the write channel changes a scrambler seed and rewrites the data using the new scrambler seed. The data may also be inspected for patterns that might cause large baseline wander before being written to disk, i.e., in the write channel. A data sequence may be repeatedly scrambled and encoded until an acceptable level of estimated DC-wander has been achieved. The data sequence may then be written to disk.
