ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and technique for determining whether a telephone loop is capable of carrying a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) signal. Time domain reflected (TDR) signals that are echoes of transmit impulse signals are processed using time domain echo averaging and echo enhancement using second-order statistics. Each technique allows clearer visualization of the TDR echo signal by reducing the noise and distortion present in the TDR signals. These statistical signal processing techniques allow determination of telephone loop characteristics such as loop length once the TDR echo signal amplitude and time index are calculated.
