A Single Chip Integrated Circuit Regenerator Capable of Operation in the Range 2-320 Mbit/s

A single chip regenerator has been developed solely within BTRL using a highly reliable silicon IC process. The prototype circuit is capable of operation over the entire span of currently agreed CCITT hierarchical levels from 2 to 140 Mbit/s, with extension to 280 Mbit/s for optical submarine applications.
