Provides a foundation for DSL modem design via contributions from internationally-recognized expertsOffers thirteen chapters exploring all facets of DSL transmissionExplores the DSL transmission environment in detailDelivers a comprehensive treatment of the discrete multi-tone (DMT) and single-carrier line codes used in DSLProvides a thorough treatment of forward error correction, trellis coding, and newer coding methodsThoroughly investigates channel equalization for both single-carrier and DMT systemsExplores the synchronization of DSL modemsInvestigates radio-frequency (RF) interference issues and how to reduce it in DSLThe DSL arena is expanding rapidly, making it highly unlikely that any single author can adequately address the breadth and depth of the subject. Responding to the demand of designers worldwide, Fundamentals of DSL Technology combines the strengths of the field's most renowned DSL experts, providing a foundation of all aspects of DSL system design.
The volume begins with an introductory three-chapter examination of DSL copper transmission channels, reviewing the basic telephone environment, the physical-layer twisted pair, and the noise environment in the twisted pair channel. The book then explores line codes - laying the foundation for later chapters about other aspects of DSL design - and discusses the basic objectives of DSL service, comparing DSL to other broadband delivery methods.
The book concludes with a description of other basic aspects of DSL transmission, covering topics such as trellis codes, Reed-Solomon codes and interleaving, turbo and LDPC codes, basic equalization theory, synchronization, and more.
