Abstract

See full text

A regenerator for an undersea optical transmission system has a timing extraction circuit for extracting the clock signal from an NRZ PCM signal. The circuit comprises a surface acoustic wave filter (F) which feeds an amplifier which comprises a number of similar cascaded amplifier sections provided by an integrated circuit. The first stage is a grounded base stage (stage 1) and the following sections each include a balanced emitter-follower buffer stage (stage 2) and a balanced long-tailed pair stage (stage 3). Any base and emitter voltages in an amplifier section are minimised if not eliminated by the long-tailed pair having equal emitter and collector loads.
