Abstract

A 100Base-TX detection system is presented which takes advantage of the form of the frequency response of the channel to provide a simplified filter for producing an output signal with reduced distortion. Utilizing the nature of the frequency response function of category-5 twisted pair cabling, a finite impulse response linear equalizer or an infinite impulse response decision feedback equalizer having as few as two multipliers is implemented.
