Abstract
An apparatus and method for recovering data in the presence of error transients is disclosed that includes a received waveform containing an information signal encoded at periodic time instants of a known period for eliminating an undesired amplitude error in the received waveform, where the error is slowly varying with respect to the known periods and recovering the desired periodic time instants. A delay element for delaying the received waveform by an amount equal to the period is included and a subtracting element for comparing the received waveform with the delayed waveform, and providing a timing recovery signal with zero crossing substantially less corrupted by the undesired amplitude error, and an averaging circuitry operating on the timing recovery signal for purposes of recovering the desired periodic time instants aids in recovering data in the presence of error transients.
