摘要:
Method, arrangement and devices for calibration of a line driving device, such as a DSLAM, having a line port. The method comprises deriving of a first parameter vector, PVinf, for example Hinf. The parameter vector PVinf is derived by performing, at a first site, an echo measurement on the line driving device while the line port on said line driving device is open. The method further comprises calibrating the line driving device based on the first parameter vector PVinf and a second parameter vector PVref, which second parameter vector is based on information on echo measurements performed on at least one reference line driving device.

Transmission properties of a telecommunications transmission line may be estimated with improved accuracy by numerical solution for Γ of Zin·jω̂C=Γcoth(Γ). At least one curve is adapted to Γ solutions already obtained and a starting point for numerical solution is selected in dependence of the at least one curve and in dependence of an already obtained solution close in frequency. In a first frequency range, starting points for numerical solution may be calculated from a biquadratic equation. In a second frequency range, a line in the complex plane may be adapted to solutions already obtained and new starting points selected in dependence of the line and in dependence of the previous solution. In a third frequency range, two lines in the frequency plane may be adapted to solutions already obtained and new starting points selected in dependence of the lines.

A system and method for using loop topology identification to investigate a transmission line having a plurality of cable segments. At a measurement plane for each segment, a probing signal is transmitted into the cable. A reflected signal is detected, and an equivalent total input impedance is calculated. The system iteratively calculates the distance between the measurement planes as well as the length, characteristic impedance, and the propagation constant of each segment. A model is used to calculate the respective equivalent input impedance of each segment using the calculated characteristic impedance, propagation constant, and length of the preceding segment. The equivalent total input impedance is then calculated from the iteratively calculated segment values.

A method and localization unit for localizing load coils within a transmission line. The load coil localization is achieved using a measurement of a Single-Ended Line Testing (SELT) parameter for the transmission line and an approximation of the SELT parameter obtained from a model of the transmission line. The model is based on a parameter vector θ including parameters describing the transmission properties of each load coil and cable section and the length of a plurality of individual cable sections as unknown independent parameters. The location of at least one load coil is determined by substantially minimizing a criterion function that represents a deviation between the measurement of the SELT parameter and the approximation of the SELT parameter obtained from the model. The load coil localization method and unit can be used for both symmetric and asymmetric transmission lines.
摘要:
The present invention concerns methods for estimating one or more transmission properties of a telecommunications transmission line. Estimates of the line input impedance, Zin at a frequency ƒ, and the line capacitance Ĉ are made. An estimate is then made in dependence of Ĉ, the frequency ƒ and a value Γ, where Γ satisfies the relationship Γ coth (Γ)=Zin·jωĈ, and ω=2πƒ. Accuracy may be improved by least squares fitting a curve to a set of intermediate values and then generating an estimate from the coefficients of the curve.
摘要:
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 π, 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 π.

A method is described herein that can be used to detect the presence of a load coil within a transmission line. The method can also be used to determine the number of load coil(s) present within the transmission line. In addition, the method can be used to determine the distance to the first load coil.

The present invention significantly reduces the number of complex computations that must be performed to compute a DFT or IDFT when a pattern is identified in an original input data sequence and is used to modify the data sequence in order to reduce the size of the sequence to be transformed. A DFT (IDFT) is performed on the modified input data sequence to generate a transformed sequence. The transformed data sequence is then manipulated to generate an output sequence that corresponds to the DFT (IDFT) of the original input data sequence without having actually calculated the DFT (IDFT) of the entire, original input data sequence. Three symmetrical patterns are used in the invention to simplify and render more efficient DFT and IDFT computations: Hermite symmetry, index-reversed, complex-conjugate symmetry, and mirror symmetry. As a result, the number of complex multiplications required to perform the DFT (or IDFT) is considerably less than the number of complex multiplications required to calculate the DFT (or IDFT) of the original input data sequence. The computational reduction increases signal processing speed and decreases power consumption, both attributes are highly desirable in virtually every DFT/IDFT application.
摘要:
In a digital communications system, a sampled signal is precisely reconstructed (rather than approximated) even in situations where the phase of the sampling signal is adjusted. More particularly, the sampled signal is compensated in the frequency domain for phase adjustments to the sampling instance in the time domain. In the context of echo cancellation, an echo transfer function is generated representing the echo channel impulse response. Aliased components present in the echo impulse response are specifically identified and compensated for in the frequency domain by treating each spectral filter coefficient of the echo transfer function as the sum of a baseband component and an aliased component. In addition to accurately compensating for sampling phase adjustments, this technique considerably relaxes traditional sampling constraints.
