Abstract:
The present invention relates to an arrangement for analyzing transmission line properties. Measurement data providing means (10) provide data of a first frequency dependent line property, line property calculation arrangement (20) with model handling means (21A), a Hubert transform handler (22) and line property determination means (23) calculate said first property based on model parameters, line resistance at 0 frequency, roc r cut-off frequency, v, line capacitance C8r and line inductance ?^. The line model handling means (21A) calculates the line inductance L(J) via a Hubert transform of Q(f/v)r relating line resistance R(J) to roc such as formula (I). The Hilbert transform values are calculated using a parameterized closed form expression for the Hubert transform or they are tabulated. The line property determination means (23; 23A) calculates the first property and criteria function application means (40) uses the measured first property and the calculated first property for model parameters to find optimized numerical model parameter values.
Abstract:
DETERMINING OF TRANSMISSION PROPERTIES OF A TELECOMMUNICATION TRANSMISSION LINE WHEREIN A COMPLEX INPUT IMPEDANCE OF THE LINE IS FIRST DETERMINED (204) FROM THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN A SIGNAL SENT ON THE LINE (200) AND A RECEIVED RESULTING SIGNAL (201). FOR FREQUENCIES FOR WHICH THE ABSOLUTE VALUE OF THE PROPAGATION CONSTANT TIMES LINE LENGTH IS LESS THAN N, THE LINE INPUT IMPEDANCE CAN BE EXPRESSED IN TERMS OF LINE CONSTANTS (LINE CAPACITANCE, RESISTANCE, INDUCTANCE AND CONDUCTANCE) AND FREQUENCY USING A TAYLOR SERIES EXPANSION. AFTER TRUNCATION OF HIGHER ORDER TERMS AND INSERTION OF MEASURED VALUES, THE RESULTING SYSTEM OF EQUATIONS CAN BE SOLVED AND THE LINE CONSTANTS GENERATED (206), PROVIDED THAT THERE ARE AT LEAST TWO FREQUENCIES. FURTHERMORE, FROM THE LINE CAPACITANCE AND A STANDARD VALUE FOR LINE CAPACITANCE PER KM, A LINE LENGTH CAN BE ESTIMATED (207).
Abstract:
A method and device for estimating one or more transmission properties of a telecommunication transmission line. At least one signal is sent on the line, the at least one signal including at least two frequencies for which the absolute value of the line propagation constant times the line length is less than &pgr;, and a resulting signal is received. An estimate of at least one transmission line property is then determined by examining the relationship between the sent and resulting signal or signals. The process may be repeated, if necessary. The estimate determination may also be repeated one or more times, with each successive estimate preferably using for the determination only those frequencies for which, as previously estimated, the absolute value of the line propagation constant times the line length is less than &pgr;.

Abstract:
The length and attenuation of a signal line between a transmitter and a customer premises equipment is to be estimated. A frequency dependent line input impedance (Z in (f)) as seen from the transmitter, is measured and an absolute impedance value (oe Z in (f) oe), is generated. The latter is shown as a curve (A1) in the diagram with the frequency (f) on the abscissa and the impedance (oe Z in (f) oe) on the ordinate. Extreme values (Max. 1 , Max 2 , Max 3 ; Min 1 , Min 2 , Min 3 ) arc denoted and a frequency distance (FD 1 -FD 4 ) between two consecutive of the extreme values is generated. The line length (L) is generated as L=½.vop/FD 1 , in which vop is the velocity of propagation of a signal on the line. The attenuation is estimated by multiplying the line length with an average attenuation value for the actual line type. The advantages are that the line length can be estimated with good accuracy in a simple manner for short lines and that the line attenuation is estimated in a simple manner.
Abstract:
Determining of transmission properties of a telecommunication transmission line wherein a complex input impedance of the line is first determined (204) from the relationship between a signal sent on the line (200) and a received resulting signal (201). For frequencies for which the absolute value of the propagation constant times line length is less than, the line input impedance can be expressed in terms of line constants (line capacitance, resistance, inductance and conductance) and frequency using a Taylor series expansion. After truncation of higher order terms and insertion of measured values, the resulting system of equations can be solved and the line constants generated (206), provided that there are at least two frequencies. Furthermore, from the line capacitance and a standard value for line capacitance per km, a line length can be estimated (207).
Abstract:
Una medición SELT de FDR se hace en una banda de paso de un plano de banda de DSL, usando un PSD permitido por la máscara de PSD. Mediciones adicionales también se pueden hacer en una banda de paso adyacente y bandas adicionales, y los resultados combinados para crear un resultado de medición de banda amplia. Cuando se transforma en el dominio de tiempo (v. gr., mediante transformación de Fourier inversa para producir la respuesta de impulso de línea) mayor resolución en tiempo (y por lo tanto mayor resolución espacial) se logra. A fin de compensar por las mediciones de errores de calibración de AGC usando diferentes pasos de AGC se pueden llevar a escala para ajustarse suavemente entre sí. Si las mediciones se traslapan, los resultados de medición en la región de traslape se puede combinar en varias formas para limitar la influencia de ruido y para crear una transición suave de una medición a la siguiente.
