`
` Modems with data streams of more than 128 kbit/s do not make use of the
`standard 64 kbit/s channels that are used for voice and ISDN
`• High speed modems are connected to dedicated modems in the Central
`Office that are directly linked to the digital network
`• Two types of modulation are used now, CAP (Carrierless Amplitude Phase
`modulation) and DMT (Discrete Multi Tone modulation)
`• In CAP amplitude and phase are modulated around a (suppressed) high
`frequency carrier with a high symbol rate. The digital data is mapped on a
`discrete number of amplitude and phase steps
`• In DMT the digital data are distributed over a high number (typically 128 to
`256) carriers. The symbol rate per carrier is low (4 kbaud) and the number of
`bits per symbol can be 15 in the most advanced systems.

`CAP Carrierless Amplitude Phase modulation
`QAM Quadrature Amplitude Modulation
`
`QAM and CAP mainly differ in the way they are generated:
`• CAP is in nature an ’analog’ quadrature implementation with a sine/cosine
`mixer
`• QAM is suited for time discrete digital implementation
`
`QAM and CAP have a high symbol rate on one carrier and therefore a wide
`side-band spectrum
`DMT has a low sybol rate (only 4k) and many carriers. Therefore is not very
`sensitive to ’spiky’ noise and RF interference. It can adapt easily to line
`conditions

`
` Each 0.25 ms (4 kHz) a data frame is build taking data out of the ’elastic
`buffer’
`• After CRC encoding, scrambling, Reed Solomon encoding and interleaving,
`data frames are prepared for transmission
`• Tone ordering gives 256 complex vectors in the frequency domain (nr. of
`bits per tone and gain scaling depends on line conditions, the digital data are
`mapped on the QAM constellation)
`• With a 512 point IFFT a symbol of 512 time domain samples is created
`• The symbol of 512 samples is filled up with a 32 samples long cyclic prefix
`• After 68 data symbols a synchronization symbol with a nominal length of
`544 samples is added making a superframe of 17 ms
`• Samplerate is 544*69/17ms = 2.208 Msamples/s = 256 * 4.3125 ksamples/s
`• The 2.208 Msamples/s output signal can be bandlimited in 1.104 MHz
`analog frquency band. An oversampled DA is preferred for smooth
`interpolation

`
`In the receiver most digital operations are reverse to the operations in the
`transmitter. A function that is unique for the receiver is the time equalization
`which is necessary to compensate for the dispersion and reflection in the line:
` The telephone line (local loop) is at most 5.5 km long
`• Propagation delay is about 30 m s with a dispersion of a few m s.
`• The sampling must be synchronized to the 2.208 MHz sample frequency of
`the transmitter. 4.416 MHz is commonly used as frequency in the DSP
`• Each symbol consists of 512 samples plus the 32 samples ‘cyclic prefix’.
`This prefix is needed to avoid intersymbol interference or leakage
`• Leakage between symbols can originate from the different delays for
`different frequencies in the band from 0 to 1.104 MHz
`• A 160 tap adaptive FIR filter on 4.416 MHz (36 m s) is used for equalization
