System and method for programmably adjusting gain and frequency response in a 10-gigabit ethernet/fibre channel system

A method for optimizing operation of a transceiver device, the method comprising:

• parallel processing an input signal through a first path having a first frequency response and a second path having a second frequency response, wherein the second frequency response is higher than the first frequency response;
• and
• combining signals from the first and second paths, creating an output signal having a desired gain and frequency.

A system for optimizing operation of a transceiver device, the system comprising:

• a parallel processor operable to process an input signal through a first path having a first frequency response and a second path having a second frequency response, wherein the second frequency response is higher than the first frequency response;
• and
• a combiner for combining signals from the first and second paths, creating an output signal having a desired gain and frequency.

A system for optimizing operation of a transceiver device, the system comprising:

• one or more circuits that are operable to parallel process an input signal through a first path having a first frequency response and a second path having a second frequency response, wherein the second frequency response is higher than the first frequency response;
• and
• said one or more circuits are operable to combine signals from the first and second paths, creating an output signal having a desired gain and frequency.
