  • Advanced Signal Processing 1 Digital Subscriber Line
    Advanced Signal Processing 1 Digital Subscriber Line Advanced Signal Processing 1 Digital Subscriber Line Biljana Badic e-mail: [email protected] 1. Introduction As a transmission technology, digital subscriber line was originally developed for the Intergraded Service Digital Network (ISDN) Basic Rate Access channel to describe the physical layer. DSL is not a service- it is a transmission technology that can be used to support a wide variety of services. Different DSL equipment implementations are required to support different service. Today, DSL or xDSL is used as a generic name for any DSL system. In this seminar work will be discuss about development history, transceiver structure, performance objectives, network interface, standards of DSL, and service of DSL. 2. History of DSL The DSL technology was developed at the ANSI working group T1D1.3, mainly during 1985 and 1986. An initial version of the standard document for DSL was delivered during 1988. DSL provides transmission capability for a single ISDN Basic Access customer over a nonloaded, two - wire telephony loop. Transmission throughput is 160 kbps ( payload throughput 144 kbps and overhead throughput 16 kbps).The payload throughput is shared into two B channels (digital telephony) and one D channel (signalling and packetization). For the two- wire, full - duplex transmission exist three methods: 1. Frequency Division Multiplex - FDM With the FDM or FDD (Frequency Division Duplex), the two directions of transmission are assigned to different frequency bands. Thus same line code and symmetrical bandwidth, the range of the system was determined by the range of the lossier frequency band.
