摘要:
A receiver that easily receives signals from transmission channels having long cable lengths is presented. The receiver includes an analog pre-filter that removes distortions and intersymbol interference from a predetermined transmission channel. The analog pre-filter is coupled with a digital receiver that provides digital equalization. The combination of analog equalization with digital equalization allows for simplified digital equalization while retaining the versatility of digital signal processing.

Analog echo-cancelling circuitry (611 and 627) operates on an input analog signal that includes an echo of an output signal, or on an analog signal generated from the input signal, to produce an analog signal with reduced echo. An analog-to-digital converter (210) converts the echo-reduced analog signal, or an analog signal generated therefrom, into a digital signal. Digital echo-cancelling circuitry (615 and 621) operates on the digital signal, or on a digital signal generated therefrom, to produce a digital signal with further reduced echo. An output decoder (605) decodes the echo-reduced digital signal, or a digital signal generated therefrom, into a stream of symbols. The echo-filtering characteristics of both echo-cancelling circuitries are typically adaptively adjusted during generation of the symbol stream. The analog echo-filtering characteristics may be adapted in response to information provided by operating on the echo-reduced digital signal or on a digital signal generated therefrom.

There is disclosed an echo canceller circuit for use in a full duplex transceiver of the type comprising a line driver capable of sending analog transmit signals through a cable and comprising a line receiver capable of receiving analog receive signals from the cable. An echo canceller impedance model circuit is coupled to an output of the line driver and is coupled to an input of the line receiver. The echo canceller impedance model circuit generates an echo canceller current that is equal in magnitude and opposite in phase to a current that represents signal echoes that are present in the analog receive signals. The echo canceller impedance model circuit has a variable impedance for generating the echo canceller current. The variable impedance has at least one variable resistor and at least one variable capacitor. The values of resistance and capacitance in the echo canceller impedance model circuit are varied in response to control signals from a echo canceller control circuit to compensate for and cancel signal echoes.

A transceiver according to the present invention receives data from a plurality of frequency separated transmission channels from a complementary transmitter and includes an interference filter for correcting for interference from transmitters other than the complementary transmitter. The interference filter, for example, can correct for near-end cross-talk and echo interference filtering and/or far-end crosstalk interference filtering is presented. A transceiver can include a transmitter portion and a receiver portion with one or more receivers coupled to receives signals in the plurality of frequency separated transmission channels. A baseband transmitter can be combined with one or more transmitters that transmit data into one of the frequency separated transmission bands. Any combination of modulation systems can be utilized (e.g. PAM for the baseband and QAM for the frequency separated bands). In some embodiments, one baseband PAM transmitter is combined with one or more frequency separated QAM transmitters.

A sequence detector (1400-w) operating generally according to the Viterbi algorithm contains a branch metric generator (1402-w), comparison circuitry (1403-w), and symbol generation circuitry (1404, 1405, and 1406) for converting digital values of a detector input signal into a sequence of predefined symbols chosen from an alphabet of predefined symbols. The comparison circuitry provides soft output signals for correcting errors. The soft output signals include best and second-best state metrics (pk,w(i) and p2k,w(i)) and corresponding best and second-best comparison results (Dk,w(i) and D2k,w(i)). The symbol generation circuitry typically utilizes the best comparison results to generate a preliminary sequence of the predefined symbols, checks for error in the preliminary sequence, and utilizes the second-best comparison results in correcting any such error in the preliminary sequence so as to convert it into a final sequence of the predefined symbols.

A communication system is disclosed that allows high data-rate transmission of data between components. N-bit parallel data is transmitted in K-frequency separated channels on the transmission medium so as to fully take advantage of the overall bandwidth of the transmission medium. Additionally, a cross-channel interference filter in a receiver section corrects for cross-channel interference in the communication system. As a result, a very high data-rate transmission can be accomplished with low data-bit transmission on individual channels. A transmitter system and a receiver system are described for the communication system.
