Abstract

In a data communications system, a digitally implemented correction for baseline wander and the receipt of killer packets resulting from coupling transformers in the transmission channel is presented. The baseline wander correction is accomplished in a feedback loop that does not depend on models of the coupling transformers between the transmitter and the transport media and the receiver and the transport media. Additionally, a digital response to killer packets is presented that does not require the use of higher resolution analog-to-digital converters and does not require the use of a lower resolution in the analog-to-digital converter of the receiver. Instead, the reference voltage of the analog-to-digital converter is adjusted for short cables, where killer packets are a problem.
