Abstract
An output signal is generated from a received input data stream representing a sequence of digital data values. For each group of successive data values in the sequence of data values, a respective waveform pattern is assigned in dependence of the data content of the respective group of successive data values. The output signal is generated by generating the assigned respective waveform patterns corresponding to the input data stream.
Claims19
A method of generating an output signal, the method comprising:
- receiving an input data stream representing a sequence of digital data values,
- employing a register to shift the data values and provide groups of successive data values of the input stream,
- for each group of the successive data values in the sequence of data values, assigning a respective waveform pattern in dependence of the data content of the respective group of successive data values, and
- generating the output signal by generating the assigned respective waveform patterns corresponding to the input data stream.
