Modeling nonlinear CTLE

 A. Zargaran-Yazd and S. Sudhakaran, "Using deep neural networks to model nonlinear circuit blocks in wireline links," 2017 IEEE 26th Conference on Electrical Performance of Electronic Packaging and Systems (EPEPS), San Jose, CA, USA, 2017, pp. 1-3

Observations:

  • 7 cites in other papers.  Would be interesting to investigate.
  • DNN vs Volterra-series
  • Interesting but I wonder how well the DNN would work when varied across data rate and sample interval.
  • This approach could have merit as part of a knowledge-based-NN where the NN cleans up after traditional modeling approach of pole/zero + memoryless-nonlinearity is done.
  • Might be an interesting intern project to replicate this work.
