Abstract
A receiver circuit is disclosed and is configured to receive an optical signal. The receiver circuit includes a receiving circuit configured to receive the optical signal and convert the optical signal from a duobinary signal format into a binary signal based on a plurality of decision thresholds. The receiver circuit also includes a clock data recovery circuit configured to sample the binary signal per data period at a first time instant based on a predetermined clock data recovery technique, and sample the binary signal per data period at a second time instant offset from the first instant, as well as determine an intermediate sample based on an offset for decoding a transmitted bit sequence according to soft information based on the samples.
