ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods are described for asymmetric digital subscriber loops. A method includes utilizing a circuit having a first end and a second end, the circuit having a first amplification interface connecting the first end to the second end in a first direction, and a second amplification interface connecting the second end to the first end in a second direction; adapting the first amplification interface to provide a first gain adjustment as a function of a first attenuation of a first communication by a first direction impedance from the transmission medium while transmitting in the first direction, the first communication within a first frequency range over the transmission medium from the first end to the second end; and adapting the second amplification interface to provide a second gain adjustment as a function of a second attenuation of a second communication by a second direction impedance from the transmission medium while transmitting in the second direction, the second communication within a second frequency range over the transmission medium from the second end to said first end. An apparatus includes a modulator for transmitting a first communication, in a first direction over a transmission medium, the modulator operably coupled to a first amplification interface for providing a first gain adjustment, based on a first attenuation of the first communication in the first direction by a first direction impedance of the transmission medium; and a demodulator operably coupled to the modulator, for receiving a second communication, in a second direction over the transmission medium, the demodulator operably coupled to a second amplification interface for providing a second gain adjustment, based on a second attenuation of the second communication in the second direction by a second direction impedance of the transmission medium.
