Abstract
A system for repeating an xDSL signal (14) is disclosed. The system comprises a receiver (16) operable to receive the xDSL signal (14), a first analog front end (18) coupled to the receiver (16) and operable to convert the xDSL signal to a digital signal, and a series of digital signal processors (20, 22) coupled to the first analog front end (18) and operable to remove noise elements from the digital signal. Also provided is a second analog front end (24) coupled to the second digital signal processor (22) and operable to convert the digital signal back to the analog domain. A driver circuit (26) is operable to increase the signal strength of the analog signal and retransmits it over a new length of wiring.
