DSL modem apparatus and reception method for DSL communication

Abstract

A constellation encoder provides carrier data with a topology inverted at 180 degrees every 8 symbols to an IFFT unit to transmit the topology inversion signal to a line. Upon receiving the signal from the line during the transmission, an FFT unit performs a fast Fourier transformation on the signal in order to obtain constellation data. Then, an AGC controller performs an AGC on the data. Further, a CAPC unit performs a CAPC, and a timing regenerator monitors whether a timing regeneration is necessary. During a period of signal hybrid echo due to the carrier topology inversion transmission, processes of the AGC, CAPC and timing regeneration are frozen.
