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.

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.

Apparatuses, methods and systems for mitigating carrier offset of a received signal are disclosed. One embodiment of a receiver includes a receiver chain operative to receive a communication signal from a desired transmitter, and a controller operative to determine a carrier offset correction based on prior reception of communication signals from the desired transmitter. The receiver chain is operative to generate a carrier offset corrected received signal by applying the carrier offset correction to the received communication signal, and a correlation processor operative to correlate the carrier offset corrected received communication signal with a known sequence.

Apparatuses, methods and systems of selecting a gain setting of a receiver chain are disclosed. One method includes bypassing a filter portion of the receiver chain and sampling a bypass receive signal while the filter portion of the receiver chain is bypassed. If the sampled bypass receive signal is determined to be saturated greater than a threshold, then selecting a gain setting of the receive chain as a function of the saturation. Further, the filter portion of the receive chain is included while sampling a receive signal with the selected gain setting.

Methods of reducing spectral leakage due to I-Q imbalance within a transmitter are disclosed. The method includes the transmitter receiving a data stream of coefficients of a multi-carrier modulation signal. The data stream is pre-processed by processing a set of the coefficients that correspond with selected notch frequencies to reduce the effects of I-Q imbalance of the transmitter, wherein at least a portion of the set of coefficients corresponds to non-symmetrical notch frequencies. The pre-processed data stream is multi-carrier modulated. The multi-carrier modulated pre-processed data stream is I-Q modulated before transmission.
