Abstract

A method of automatically determining a far-end crosstalk (FEXT) and near-end crosstalk (NEXT) transfer function in communication lines such as Digital Subscriber Lines (DSL). In a first phase, an input test signal with a known power density spectrum (PSD) covering a frequency range of interest is transmitted at the near end of line A while a received signal or noise-related quantity or PSD is measured at both the near end and far end of line B. In a second phase, transmission of the test signal is stopped, and a received signal or noise-related quantity or PSD is again measured at both ends of line B. In a third phase, the FEXT/NEXT transfer function is determined based on the measurements of the first and second phases.
