Abstract:
An integrated circuit comprising a main section/processor (1,2) and a subsection/subprocessor (10,18) for debugging the main section (1) is provided with hardware modules (11-15) coupled via a subbus (20) to said subprocessor (18) and coupled to different parts of said main section (1), for debugging more directly. The hardware modules comprise a shiftregister (14) coupled to a chain unit (4) and a clock controller (12) coupled to a clock generator (7) for scanning purposes, a scan controller (13) coupled to said chain unit (4) for selection scanning options, a breakpoint controller (11) coupled to said chain unit (4) for interrupting said scanning, and/or a programmable register (15) coupled to dedicated hardware (8) for tracing purposes. An access module (30) is coupled to an interface (19) for communication with the outside world and is further coupled to an access memory (16). A subprocessor memory (17) stores amendable/replacable software for controlling said subsection (10) and said debugging as well as a transmission of debugging results via said access module (30) to an external debugger (40).
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for cancelling radio frequency interference in the analogue domain, in twisted pair connections when used for digital subscriber lines (DSL). When a disturbance signal couples onto the wire pair line as a common mode disturbance ( c ), the common mode disturbance is partially converted into a differential mode disturbance ( r ), and said differential mode disturbance interferes additively with said communication signal, resulting in a differential mode signal ( d ). The apparatus comprises means for sensing the common mode disturbance, means for converting the common mode disturbance into a reference signal (u), a modulator for applying a weight parameter ( w ) to the reference signal, and means for subtracting a differential mode cancellation signal, comprising the weighted reference signal, from the differential mode signal in order to obtain a minimised residual signal (ξ). Preferably the apparatus comprises a demodulator devised to sense the residual signal and create an adaptation vector ( q ) for adapting the weight parameter in order to minimise said residual signal.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a procedure to suppress near-end crosstalk at bidirectional broadband communication in wire network, where a cable with at least one pair of wires connects the telephone exchange side and the subscriber side. According to the invention orthogonal subcarriers are utilized in the two transmission directions, for instance by use of DMT line coding technology (Discrete Multitone). The transmission can be symmetric or asymmetric with different numbers of carriers in different transmission directions. The invention solves the problem of near-end crosstalk and echo in the system and increases the transmission capacity, especially at symmetric communication.
