Abstract

There is provided a scheme for centering data prior to detection. It comprises: determining carrier frequency error, and pre-adjusting the data detection process to compensate for that error throughout the ensuing data detection. This scheme for reliable multi-level data detection further comprises: upon detection of carrier presence, determining carrier frequency error, gating a voltage associated with the frequency error to the differential amplification process to establish common mode rejection and compensating for that error throughout the ensuing multi-level data detection, and then analog-to-digital conversion of the differentially amplified multi-level data. A scheme for computationally centering the subsequent data detected to compensate for the error is also provided.
