Project description

The upstream communication in TDM-PON access networks operates in burst-mode. With increasing data rates, it becomes increasingly challenging to design such very fast synchronizing burst mode receivers. The goal of this project is to research burst mode clock and data recovery circuits with digital PLL techniques to decrease the lock time.
