Abstract
A system for periodic noise avoidance including a timing discriminator receiving an input signal from a communications channel. The input signal includes data packets and empty slots with periodic noise. The timing discriminator outputs a first error measurement of periodic noise width and a second error measurement of periodic noise position. A first loop filter inputs the first error measurement and outputs a width of the empty slots. A second loop filter inputs the second error measurement and outputs a frequency of the periodic noise. An oscillator inputs the width of the empty slots and the frequency, and outputs an empty slot waveform to the timing discriminator.
