A high bandwidth telephone line transceiver for connecting telecommunications equipment to a telephone line provides a pair of isolation capacitors connected to the telephone line to transmit the telephone signals across the requisite electrical isolation barrier. The capacitors are connected to a user-side hybrid circuit that provides a line impedance match for the telephone circuit, and converts the two wire connection to the capacitors to a 4 wire circuit for separate transmit and receive signal paths. The receive signal path extends through a signal op amp to a high pass filter that transmits the DSL download bandwidth and rejects the upload bandwidth and voice spectrum. The received signal is then fed to an analog/digital converter, and the digitized signal is connected to a DSP. The DSP is connected to a data handling device via a USB port, a PCI interface, or the like. The transmit signal path extends from the DSP circuit to a transmit path digital/analog converter. The resulting analog signal is fed through a low pass filter, which transmits the upload bandwidth and rejects the remainder of the spectrum. The signal then passes through a compensation network that maintains a flat impedance characteristic over the upload bandwidth, and then through a line impedance matching network to the other isolation capacitor that connects to the telephone line. The hybrid circuit also cancels the near echo from the transmit signal path to the receive signal path.
