| Title |
Characterization of crosstalk in a wired communication network |

| Description |
Copper twisted pair has been used in wired communication networks. Phone lines are primarily used for transmitting voice (plain old telephone service or POTS signal); recently however they are being deployed for high-speed data communication through digital subscriber line (DSL) technology.
One of the main problems in DSL networks is the crosstalk between the twisted pairs in the same binder. This is due to the electromagnetic crosscoupling between the telephone lines of two different customers, whose telephone lines are within the same cable and binder. In this project it is desired to experimentally characterize the crosstalk between the 25 twisted pairs of a binder in the communication lab. This will be performed by applying voltages to each twisted pair and measuring the induced voltages in all other lines. Characterization of crosstalk in the cable can be very useful in reducing its effect in the network.
