a The search signal, s(t). The Search sequence is X1X0X. The match signal at the TIA output, when compared to a stored Data symbol of 0 (subplot b), 1 (subplot c), or X (subplot d). The match decision points are marked with a plus symbol, where the Match and Mismatch are indicated by the black and red color, respectively. The eye diagrams at the TIA output, when compared to Data symbol of 0 (subplot e), 1 (subplot f), or X (subplot g). The Search symbol is taken out of a binary set.
