摘要： The current invention provides a method and apparatus for time domain equalization in an XDSL modem. A received communication channel is analyzed to determine the highest frequency component thereof. Typically, there is an inverse relationship between the length of a subscriber line and the highest frequency component over which communications can be supported. In response to the frequency determination, the sampling rate for the channel is reduced to the lowest sample rate consistent with maintaining signal integrity on the highest frequency component of the channel. The sampling rate reduction may accomplished in the analog portion of the receive path, e.g. the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) or in a digital decimator coupled thereto. Concurrently the demodulator complexity is also scaled back. Where the XDSL protocol is digital multi-tone (DMT) the input sample size to the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) engine is reduced accordingly. With these adjustments in place TEQ resources may be scaled inversely. Thus as line length increases and the available bandwidth on the subscriber line is reduced more TEQ resources are made available to deal with the increased delay interval over which intersymbol interference is evidenced. Scaling of TEQ resources may be accomplished using a TEQ architecture which allows either the length or the tap line or the delay between taps to be varied.

摘要： A transceiver for communicating a multi-tone modulated communication channel on a subscriber line. The transceiver includes: a digital signal processor (DSP) with a Fourier transform module and an analog front end (AFE). The DSP determines an available range of frequencies on the subscriber line and expands or contracts the tone spacing of each of a fixed number “N” of tones accordingly by decreasing or increasing the processing interval associated with the Fourier transform of each tone set. The AFE performs digital-to-analog conversion of the multi-tone modulated communication channel at rates compatible with the processing interval of the Fourier transform module; whereby the range of frequencies spanned by the modulated tones on the subscriber line conforms to the available of frequencies on the subscriber line.

摘要： The current invention provides a DSP which accommodates multiple current X-DSL protocols and is further configurable to support future protocols. The DSP is implemented with shared and dedicated hardware components on both the transmit and receive paths. The DSP implements both the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) and inverse discrete Fourier transform (IDFT) portions across a wide range of sample sizes and X-DSL protocols. Multiple channels, each with varying ones of the X-DSL protocols can be handled in the same session. The DSP offers the speed associated with hardware implementation of the transforms and the flexibility of a software only implementation. Traffic flow is regulated in the chip using a packet based schema in which each packet is associated with a specific channel of upstream and downstream data. Header and control information in each packet is used to govern the processing of each packet as it moves along either the transmit path or receive path. The DSP of the current invention may advantageously be utilized in fields other than communications, such as: medical and other imaging, seismic analysis, radar and other military applications, pattern recognition, signal processing etc. The present invention provides a signal processing architecture that supports scalability of CO/DLC/ONU resources, and allows a significantly more flexible hardware response to the evolving X-DSL standards without over committing of hardware resources. As standards evolve hardware may be reconfigured to support the new standards.

摘要： An apparatus and method is provided for minimizing frequency distortion in the transmit path of an XDSL modem implementing digital multi-tone (DMT) line code. The current invention provides a means for both determining and correcting for distortion in the frequency domain. The apparatus may be incorporated in an existing X-DSL architecture without additional circuitry. In an embodiment of the invention the apparatus may include a calibration phase which may be implemented using the existing analog-to-digital (ADC) conversion and demodulation capabilities on the receive path of the modem. This calibration phase takes place before the training phase associated with establishing communications with a remote site. During the calibration phase a calibration sequence with known spectral characteristics in the frequency domain is injected digitally at the beginning of the transmit path into each of the tone bins of the inverse Fourier Transform engine (IFFT). The receive path is configured to receive feedback of a resultant analog output signal from the transmit path. A frequency analyzer is used to determine the spectral properties of the feedback from the analog output signal and a normalizer is used to compute a local gain table with gain factors for each tone bin which effect the required normalization.

摘要： An X-DSL modem supporting multiple X-DSL line codes including discrete multi-tone (DMT) and carrierless phase and amplitude (CAP). The modem includes: components coupled to one another to form a transmit path and a receive path. The components include an encoder component and a Fourier transform component. The encoder component encodes data associated with a CAP communication channel into QAM symbols and encodes data associated with a DMT communication channel into DMT sub-symbols. The Fourier transform component couples to the encoder component on the transmit path for transforming DMT sub-symbols from a frequency-to-time domain and for transforming QAM symbols from the time-to-frequency domain followed by a filtering in the frequency domain and a subsequent transformation back from the frequency-to-time domain to effect a pulse shaping function without requiring a discrete pulse shaping component in the transmit path.

摘要： An apparatus and method is disclosed for a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) system with both uniform and non-uniform sampling rates. The system includes a digital portion in which samples of a set of “N” digital samples are obtained from a digital input stream. Each set of samples is evaluated with various test decimations which may include various combinations of uniform and non-uniform timing intervals between the selected members of each decimation. Each test decimation includes substantially the same number “M” of digital samples where “M” is less than the number of samples “N” in each sample set. Each test decimation is digitally evaluated to determine which is the optimum test decimation. The optimum test decimation exhibits the best fit with the original set of “N” samples using a reduced set of “M” digital samples. This optimum test decimation along with the appropriate timing information is subject to an digital-to-analog conversion, with the corresponding analog output signal retaining a high degree of fidelity with the digital input signal albeit at a reduced average sampling rate. The reduction in sampling rate for the DAC simplifies circuit design and reduces power requirements.

摘要： An apparatus and method is disclosed for channel estimation in an X-DSL communication device. The communication device may include physical or logical modems. The modems may implement one or more of a group of X-DSL protocols including: G.Lite, ADSL, VDSL, and HDSL. The apparatus may be used for determining the location and magnitude of discontinuities or faults within the communication medium to which the X-DSL communication device is coupled. The information provided by the device may be used for line qualification or repair. No additional equipment is required for channel estimation. Instead the apparatus may be located within a single modem or shared between a group of modems. An N bit pseudo random codeword injected into the transmit path is used to generate both a leakage signal and a plurality of reflected signals on the receive path. No timing information is needed from the transmit path. Instead a unique correlator is utilized on the receive path to extract timing information for the reflected signals relative to the leakage signal. The broad bandwidth of the codeword and its relatively long duration allow channel estimation at significantly higher signal-to-noise ratios and with greater degrees of accuracy than heretofore possible.
