Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices are described for a low complexity interpolator for use in optical transmission systems. An input receives a digitized version of an optical signal, and provides samples of the received signal to a filter module. The filter module filters the input samples according to a set of filter coefficients provided by a memory. The set of filter coefficients are provided based on the output of a numerically controlled oscillator that provides an output corresponding to an accumulation of partial periods of the first sample rate. Filtered data samples are output to a sample block assembler that receives the data samples, removes filtered data samples where it is indicated that the sample is not valid, and outputs valid filtered data samples at the second sample rate and at a fixed number of samples power output period.
