Abstract

In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a power spectral density (PSD) mask for spectral shaping of a dual bit map (DBM) mode downstream transmission is provided. The PSD mask is represented by the equation: PSD DBMsOL = K ADSL_OL × C f 0 × [ sin ⁡ ( π ⁢ f f 0 ) ] 2 ( π ⁢ f f 0 ) 2 × 1 1 + ( f f LP3dB ) 12 × 1 1 + ( f HP3dB f ) 6 , 0 ≺ f ≺ ∞ where PSD DBMsOL represents the PSD mask, K ADSL — OL represents a constant value, C represents a constant value, f represents a frequency of the downstream transmission, f 0 represents a constant value, f LP3dB represents a 3 decibel (dB) low pass frequency and f f HP3dB represents a 3 dB high pass frequency. K ADSL — OL preferably has a value between 0.0900 watts and 0.1200 watts and more preferably has a value of 0.1104 watts. The constant f 0 preferably has a value between 2.100 megahertz and 2.300 megahertz and more preferably has a value of 2.208 megahertz. The constant f LP3dB has a value substantially equal to f 0 2 . The constant f HP3dB has preferably has a value between 100 kilohertz and 150 kilohertz and more preferably has a value of 130 kilohertz. The constant C preferably has a value between 0.1 and 10 and more preferably has a value of 2.
