HIGH PERFORMANCE ADSL LINE CONDITIONER SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A DSL line conditioner achieves high performance sufficient to simultaneously support video, voice and data signals on standard telephone twisted pair lines over substantially greater distances than are currently available. The line conditioner automatically adjusts and sets the upstream and downstream preamplifier gains and attenuations according to the actual degradation imposed upon the upstream and downstream signals by the twisted pair line in which the line conditioner is used. The line conditioner achieves high performance by optimizing the signal-to-noise ratio and signal quality of DSL signals, and has a low power budget that enables it to operate by deriving power from the twisted pair lines over which it is used.
