    摘要: The present invention, generally speaking, provides a digitally-tunable, echo-cancelling analog front end (AFE) for wireline digital communications. The analog front end is especially useful in a High-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line (HDSL) or HDSL2 environment. An analog echo simulation path is provided capable of simulating echo from a wide variety of echo paths. Digitally controlled attenuators are provided in the transmission path and in the analog echo simulation path. Also provided is a digital-tunable equalizer stage. The equalizer stage is tuned to match the characteristics of the receive path. The same arrangement may be adapted for various DSL technologies, i.e., xDSL. There results an analog front end that is well-adapted to high-speed wireline communications.

    摘要: The present invention, generally speaking, provides for cancellation of non-linear distortions within the echo path of a communications system by characterizing the nonlinearity, performing digital processing of a data signal to cause substantially the same nonlinearity to be applied to the data signal, and inputting a resulting data signal to a non-linear echo-cancellation path. In an exemplary embodiment, the non-linear echo-cancellation path includes as a nonlinear echo canceller a transversal filter or the like. A separate linear echo cancellation path is also provided. Training of the nonlinear echo canceller follows training of the linear echo canceller. This technique is particularly applicable to cancelling the effects of DAC nonlinearity, which can be readily characterized. Using this technique, cancellation improvement of about 3dB can readily be obtained. Alternatively, instead of achieving a lower residual echo floor, the linearity requirements for the transmit DAC can be relaxed. A lower number of bits of precision allows for lower DAC power consumption. The technique is particularly applicable to DSL applications.
