Abstract

Embodiments allow for the use of the SS modulation technique (and thus for significant reduction of EMI due to clock transmission) in scenarios involving tight synchronization requirements between two devices. In particular, embodiments can be used in high-speed communication networks (e.g., high-speed Ethernet) where a clock signal embedded in the data stream at the transmitter and recovered from the data stream at the receiver is the only source for synchronization between the transmitter and the receiver (i.e., no other synchronization channel available). Embodiments are also especially useful in communication systems utilizing echo cancellers.
