A physical layer device (PHY) device in a home LAN employs discrete multitone technology (DMT). The DMT system enables usage of existing residential wiring, which typically is telephone system grade twisted copper pair. The PHY device comprises an analog front end (AFE) circuit that frequency shifts the spectral images by using a clock signal. The multiplication of the clock signal is accomplished using a digital mixer or, in the alternative, an analog switch.
