METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR CHARACTERIZING COMMON MODE NOISE AND ESTIMATING LOOP IMBALANCE

摘要

The present invention relates generally to addressing performance issues in xDSL communication systems, and more particularly to methods and apparatuses to measure and characterize CM noise impacting a DSL line in a customer premises, measurements and characterization of the projection of these CM signals in Differential Mode (DM), and finally a derivation of an estimate of the loop balance.
