AD8392A
MULTITONE POWER RATIO
The DMT signal used in ADSL/ADSL2+ systems carries data in
discrete tones or bins, which appear in the frequency domain in
evenly spaced 4.3125 kHz intervals. In applications using this
type of waveform, multitone power ratio (MTPR) is a commonly
used measure of linearity. MTPR is defined as the measured
difference from the peak of one tone that is loaded with data to
the peak of an adjacent tone that is intentionally left empty.
Figure 19 and Figure 20 show the AD8392A MTPR for a 5.5
crest factor waveform for empty bins in the ADSL and extended
ADSL2+ bandwidths.
