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:
An echo canceller reduces an echo signal produced when the transmitted signal leaks back into the receiver via a hybrid. The echo canceller estimates the echo signal from the transmitted signal, and then subtracting the estimated echo signal from the received signal. In practice, the echo path channel in a DMT-modem is much longer than the cyclic prefix, and therefore, the received echo signal will be subjected to both ISI (inter-symbol-interference) and ICI (inter-carrier-interference). A traditional echo canceller, designed for a xDSL-modem, uses either a time domain adaptive FIR-filter or a combined echo canceller implemented in both time and frequency domain. A matrix-based adaptive echo canceller is implemented in the frequency domain. Various example embodiments are disclosed.
Abstract:
Estimation of line insertion loss (IL (f) ) of a customer transmission line. For a number of different reference transmission lines the insertion loss is laboratory measured at a number of frequencies in double- ended line tests, giving insertion loss values (L11...L14,..., L51...L54). For the same reference transmission lines single-ended laboratory tests are performed, giving one calibration quantity (PV1...PV5) per transmission line, representing the amplitude of a far-end TDR reflection. A relationship is formed between the loss values (L11 L54) and the calibration quantity (PV1...PV5), shown as one straight line (Lf1...Lf4) per frequency (f1...f4). A field single-ended line test is performed on the unknown customer transmission line, giving a calibration quantity (PVX). The insertion loss (IL';(f) ) is read as values (LX1...LX4) for the different frequencies (f1 f4). The calibration quantity (PV1 PV5; PVX) can be measured via a line card or by connecting to the transmission line. For one transmission line different relationships can be set up depending on the termination impedance of the transmission line. Accurate customer transmission line insertion loss is generated.
Abstract:
In a method of interference rejection combining (IRC) for mitigating interference in received signals in the frequency domain for a telecommunication system, selecting (S 10) a sub-group of frequencies of a received signal, determining (S20) a joint representation of a covariance matrix for the interference plus noise for at least one time slot of the received signal for the selected sub-group of frequencies, determining (S30) a channel estimate based on at least one pilot symbol of said at least one time slot. Finally, determining (S40) IRC coefficients in the frequency domain for each symbol of said at least one time slot based on said determined joint representation of the covariance matrix and said determined channel estimate.
