Abstract
A discrete multi-tone, asymmetrical transceiver and method wherein a modem at a central office transmits information to a modem at a remote terminal on a down-stream signal and the modem at the remote terminal transmits information to the modem at the central office on an up-stream signal. The up-stream signal comprising data carried by a lower portion of a predetermined band of frequencies and the down-stream signal comprising data carried by an upper portion of the predetermined band of frequencies. The system includes an interpolator, at the remote terminal, for adding interpolated data into a stream of data distributed by the remote terminal modem among the lower portion of the predetermined band of frequencies for transmission in the up-stream signal. An ADC is provided at the modem of the central office, for converting the down-stream signal into digital samples at a sampling rate greater than the frequency of the highest frequency in the down-stream signal. A decimator is fed samples from the ADC at the ADC sampling rate and produces output samples at a lower sampling rate. A demodulator is fed the samples produced by the decimator at the lower sampling rate and converts suc…
