Abstract: After analysis of the relationship between the channel
identification and symbol synchronization in divided multi-tone(DMT) systems, a
comprehensive method is presented. Using power decision criterion, the comprehensive
method can get frequency response, impulse response of the channel and also correct symbol
boundary at the same time. Applications of this approach in ADSL systems show a 10dB
improvement in the geometrical signal-to-noise ratio (GSNR) compared to previous methods
while the complexity of its algorithm is somewhat reduced.
