Definitions
- the invention relates generally to digital subscriber line systems and more specifically to an arrangement for signal level adjustment of multitone signals in such systems.
- DSL digital subscriber line
- the analog signals are multitone signals comprising up to 255 tones with a separation of 4.3 kHz.
- the transmitted maximum power spectral density is specified as a constant value, i.e. it is the same for all tones or frequencies.
- a transmitted signal will be damped over the telephone line before it reaches the other side.
- the damping will vary with frequency such that tones at lower frequencies will be damped less than tones at higher frequencies.
- the damping will vary with the length of the telephone line such that a longer telephone line will damp the signal more than a shorter telephone line.
- the PSD of the received signal at the receiving side will vary with frequency.
- the bit rate of an ADSL link is the sum of the bits allocated to each individual tone divided by the frame time, which is regulated by standard to be 246.3 ⁇ sec. It is permissible to allocate up to 15 bits per tone.
- the actual number of bits that can be used in practice on a tone is decided during a so-called "training sequence" that is started when an ADSL modem is powered up.
- the far end side sends a predefined pattern with a constant PSD, while the receiving side calculates the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for each incoming tone.
- SNR signal-to-noise ratio
- the noise level in a receiver is usually approximately a white noise, i.e. a constant PSD for all frequencies, and often decided by an A/D converter in the receive path.
- the object of the invention is to increase the bit rate in a multitone DSL system without changing the standard while still meeting the standard.
- the drawing is a schematic block diagram of an arrangement according to the invention for signal level adjustment of a multitone signal received over a trans- mission line 1 in a DSL system, e.g. an ADSL system.
- a DSL system e.g. an ADSL system.
- the transmission line 1 is connected to an input of a programmable high-pass filter 2 via a preamplifier 3. It should be pointed out that the preamplifier 3 is not necessary in all applications, but the transmission line 1 can be directly connected to the input of the high-pass filter 2.
- the programmable high-pass filter 2 can be any known such filter.
- the output of the filter 2 is connected to an input of a programmable gain control (PGC) unit 4 the output of which is connected to an input of an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter 5.
- PGC programmable gain control
- A/D analog-to-digital
- An output signal bus 15 of the A/D converter 5 is connected to a set of inputs of a digital signal processor (DSP) 6, having a set of control outputs 7 connected to a set of control inputs 8 of the filter 2, an enable output 9 connected to an enable input 10 of the filter 2, a set of control outputs 11 connected to a set of control inputs 12 of the PGC unit 4, and an enable output 13 connected to an enable input 14 of the PGC unit 4.
- DSP digital signal processor
- a multitone signal sent out by an ADSL transceiver (not shown) will be received on the transmission line 1.
- the enable outputs 9 and 13 of the DSP 6 are both low, which means that the received multitone signal will pass through the filter 2 and the PGC unit 4 directly to the A/D converter 5.
- the received multitone signal is converted into a digital signal and supplied to the DSP 6.
- the signal level of the highest and the lowest tone of the multitone signal are analyzed.
- the highest tone has considerably lower signal strength than the lowest tone, and thereby also a lower SNR.
- the DSP 6 sets its enable output 9 high.
- the filter 2 is enabled for programming.
- the filter 2 is programmed such that the signal strengths of the highest tone and the lowest tone become equal. During the programming process, this is monitored by the DSP 6.
- the enable output 9 of the DSP 6 is then again set low. Thereafter, the enable output 13 of the DSP 6 is set high, to enable the PGC unit 4 for programming.
- the DSP 6 programs or adjusts the gain of the
- the enable output 13 of the DSP 6 is again set low and the training sequence is terminated.
- the SNR will now be equal at all frequencies, which means that the total number of bits that can be allocated to an ADSL frame will be higher and, consequently, that the bit rate will increase.
