ABSTRACT:
Circuits and methods for coherent noise cancellation are provided. More specifically, circuits and methods are provided for coherent cancellation of noise that is present in a data signal due to noise being present in the source signal (e.g., an optical signal) that is used to produce the data signal. The circuits, which use a subtraction process rather than division, are easy to implement in a chip, and provide for wide bandwidth performance.
