In this white paper, you will learn how the coherent lightwave signal analysis methodologies utilize the high speed A to D of an oscilloscope to enable access to a complete set of measurement outputs, including bit error rate (BER) results, for better characterization of complex optical signals on fiber and evaluation of long-haul telecommunications systems performance. By combining channel expansion, crosstalk cancellation and multi-pair bonding based on the Vectored DSL and MIMO DSL, the SuperMIMO technology dramatically increases the DSL access rate because of extra virtual channels and a near crosstalk-free environment. The laboratory test results show that SuperMIMO helps achieve a downstream rate of over 300 Mbps by using two twisted pairs and of 700 Mbps by using four twisted pairs. SuperMIMO prolongs the life of twisted pair cable by increasing the access bandwidth.
