Abstract
There is provided a receiver comprising: a control unit for controlling the functions of the receiver; a receiving unit for receiving data signals and timing signals; and a digitally controlled delay line unit connected to the receiving unit and to the control unit. The control unit is configured to measure several samples of the received data signal and the timing signal, to determine average values of the several measured samples of the data signal and the timing signal for defining compensation values, and the digitally controlled delay line unit is configured to adjust the number of unit delay elements for compensating for skew between the data signal and the timing signal on the basis of the defined compensation values.
