Signal disturbances along the upstream path necessitate the use of advanced signal processing methods. One of these disturbances is group delay distortion. This paper describes two algorithmic alternatives to solve this particular problem.

Prototyping Quadrature Amplitude Modulation for Two-way Communication on CATV Networks
Recently, coaxial cable networks have received much attention in the context of interactive application [1,2]. In countries with a high penetration of CATV (e.g. Belgium >90%), the cable network forms a viable alternative to classical telephone networks. Envisaged applications are telephony, interactive television, home-shopping, video-ondemand, high-speed Web browsing, etc. The interactive nat...
متن کاملSome TDMA and OFDM/CDMA receiver structures for communication over the return path of the CATV network
This paper deals with the derivation and comparison of some promising TDMA and OFDM/CDMA receiver structures for communication over the return path channel of the cable TV (CATV) network. Regarding TDMA, it is shown that the performance substantially improves by using equalization. Given the slowly varying, frequency selective nature of the ingress noise, OFDM seems an interesting possible acce...

Underwater acoustic communication systems suffer from the channel impairments which results in time spreading of the transmitted signal. In underwater environment, multiple replicas of the transmitted signal are received at the receiver through different paths, which causes significant Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI). Decision Feedback Equalizers (DFE) was utilized to overcome this type of inte...
