This paper proposes a suitable method for simulating impulses with appropriate amplitude, spectral, and inter-arrival characteristics. The statistics used to develop the parameters of this model are based on statistics derived from observations of impulse noise on the telephone networks of British Telecom (BT) and Deutsche Telekom (DT). This paper initially reviews the former DT approach to impulse noise generation for testing digital subscriber line systems, so called xDSL systems. Some problems are highlighted and an alternative technique is suggested that is capable of generating impulses with both appropriate amplitude and spectral characteristics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
