ABSTRACT:
Digital signal processing based methods and systems for receiving electrical and/or optical data signals include electrical receivers, optical receivers, parallel receivers, multi-channel receivers, timing recovery schemes, and, without limitation, equalization schemes. The present invention is implemented as a single path receiver. Alternatively, the present invention is implemented as a multi-path parallel receiver in which an analog-to-digital converter (“ADC”) and/or a digital signal processor (“DSP”) are implemented with parallel paths that operate at lower rates than the received data signal.
