Abstract
A system compensates for the presence of power transients. The system receives a data signal and detects the occurrence of a power transient. The system generates a threshold signal based on the detected power transient and determines a value of the data signal based on the threshold signal.
Claims18
A receiver for compensating for optical power transients, comprising:
- demultiplexing logic configured to:
- receive a data signal,
- receive a threshold signal, and
- determine characteristics of the data signal based on the threshold signal;
- and conditioning logic configured to:
- detect occurrence of a power transient, and
- generate the threshold signal based on the detected power transient.
