Definitions
- This invention relates to a method and apparatus for suppressing noise caused by foreign signals induced in transmission lines, such as twisted pair lines.
- Cable companies with their higher bandwidth coaxial cables installed direct to the home are rushing to offer telephony and data communications and other services in competition with the telephone companies.
- the telephone companies in turn wish to compete by offering switched entertainment and higher bandwidth data and video services.
- the rejection of induced foreign signals (ingress) into unshielded twisted pair transmission lines depends on the pair balance. At frequencies at which twisted pair is normally used (typically ⁇ 20 kHz), this balance may be better than 60 dB. This means that the differential component ofthe common mode ingress will be attenuated by 60 dB. The common mode component is rejected at the receiver input while the differential component is admitted. Twisted pair balance becomes much worse at very high frequencies (up to 100
- An object ofthe invention is to provide a method and circuit for suppressing noise under these conditions.
- a method of suppressing noise in a transmission line comprising the steps of receiving incoming signals at the inputs of a differential amplifier, extracting a common mode signal from said input signals, integrating the output of said differential amplifier that is correlated with said common mode signal over a large number of cycles, and adjusting the balance in said line on the basis of said integration.
- the integrated signal will be minimized over time to keep the line in optimum balance.
- the differential component should be smaller than the common mode component (as it normally would be).
- the differential component In the case ofthe wanted signal, the differential component must be greater than the common mode component (as it normally would be).
- the unwanted signal can be extracted from the composite using correlation techniques.
- the pair balance may then be adjusted, at the receiver input, until this unwanted signal is cancelled. If the pair balance is different at different frequencies then multiple cancellers may be used, each operating in a different band.
- This canceller not only compensates for imperfect balance in the twisted pair, it also compensates for imperfect balance within the receiver.
- the invention also provides a noise cancellation circuit characterized in that it comprises a differential amplifier for receiving incoming signals on a transmission line, means for a extracting a common mode signal from the incoming signals, means for integrating an output of said differential amplifier that is correlated with said common mode signals, and means for adjusting the signal balance in said transmission line on the basis of said integration.
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an echo canceller circuit in accordance with the invention.
- Figure 2 shows the result of simulating a circuit in accordance with Figure 1 ; and Figure 3 shows the first 15 micro-seconds of simulation where the composite signal can be seen to be dominated by the ingress:
- Figure 4 shows the last 15 micro-seconds of simulation where only the wanted signal can be seen.
- one component o a twisted pair line 1 is connected to the non-inverting input of a receiver amplifier 2 and the other component is connected to the inverting input through balance adjustment unit 1 1 for restoring line balance.
- this can be a variable gain amplifier.
- the line 1 is also connected to the two non-inverting inputs of common mode amplifier 3, which detects common mode signals (cm), and respective non-inverting and inverting inputs of amplifier 4, which produces a difference signal dif.
- the common mode output signal from amplifier 3 is applied to the non- inverting inputs of comparators 5. 6.
- the inverting input of comparator 5 is connected to ground.
- the differential output of amplifier 4 is connected through full wave rectifier 7 to inverting input of comparator 6.
- the outputs of comparator 5 and 6 are fed through AND gate 8 to control switch 9.
- comparator 5 will turn on switch 9 via AND gate 8 when the signal cm is positive, i.e. during positive half-cycles of the waveform.
- switch 9 connects the output of receiver 2 to the input of an integrator 10. Since the unwanted component ofthe difference signal is correlated with the common mode, this will be positive at the same time, whereas the uncorrelated wanted signal will be randomly positive and negative. Over a long period of time (typically tens of thousands times the signal period), the unwanted signal at the output of receiver 2 will therefore accumulate at the integrator output. The output of integrator 10 restores the twisted pair balance at the input of the receiver 2 through balance adjustment unit 1 1 thereby to suppress the noise.
- amplifier 4 detects the differential signal dif.
- Full wave rectifier 7 derives the absolute value of this signal, which is always positve.
- the comparator 6 serves to stop integration from occurring at the integrator 10 while the absolute value of the signal dif is higher than the signal cm since the AND gate 8 causes switch 9 to open. The net result is that integration will only take place while the dif signal (and its cm component) is passing through zero. As a result these signals are ignored by the integrator.
- the wanted signal is 4Vpp with a cm component of 0.8Vpp.
- the cm ingress is 160Vpp with a dif component of 40Vpp.
- the ingress signal is a composite of 967kHz, 1.57MHz and 1.93MHz. The first 0.015 seconds of convergence is simulated.
- Figure 3 shows the first 15 micro-seconds of simulation where the composite signal can be seen to be dominated by the ingress.
- Figure 4 shows the last 15 micro ⁇ seconds of simulation where only the wanted signal can be seen.
- circuit has been described as an analog circuit, but those skilled in the art will recognize that it can also be implemented in the digital domain using digital signal processors. It may also be used with duplex systems adopting a ping-pong approach, where signals are alternately sent in opposite directions. It can be used with systems employing frequency or time division multiplexing.
- the above circuit may destroy the wanted signal. For this reason, it may be desirable to include a noise detector and a device for de ⁇ activating the circuit when the noise drops below a certain threshold level.
- the described circuit shows great promise in suppressing uncorrelated single frequency interference and impulse noise.
