Introducing Menara’s MagicEye™. The industry's first 12 Gbps discrete-time analog PRML silicon chip for electronic Dispersion Compensation and clock recovery. This new class of EDC can effectively compensate for dispersion impairments in excess of 6,500 psec/nm.
PRML or partial-response maximum likelihood equalization is a multi-approach solution that augments existing Maximum Likelihood Sequence Estimation (MLSE) approaches with effective signal equalization for improved performance.
Menara’s unique discrete-time processing eliminates the need for the multi- Giga samples/sec ADC which severely reduces the quality of the received signal and limits the effectiveness of the digital MLSE processing engine. Removing this ADC bottleneck not only improves the overall performance but also allows for smaller silicon area by eliminating the need for a multi-million gate digital core.
With Menara’s MagicEye™ EDC, 10 Gbps transmission over 400 km of uncompensated standard single mode fiber (SMF 28) is now possible making seamless 10G upgrades of existing 2.5G deployed optical DWDM networks possible.
