Publication number: 20050271386Abstract: A method and apparatus for filter spectrum deconvolution and reshaping include providing a filter output of a spectrum signal and determining the intensity and wavelength of the spectrum signal at each spectral peak. The filter output is characterized as an integral of convolution of a spectrum signal function and a filter function. Transformation are then performed on the filter output to deconvolve and remove the undesirable filter function and add a desirable filter function to reshape the output filter spectrum.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2004Publication date: December 8, 2005Applicant: SUNRISE TELECOM INCORPORATEDInventors: Ke-Cai Zeng, Xuandong Hua

Publication number: 20050163204Abstract: In a method for measuring jitter, a signal under test is inputted to generate signal transition locations. A signal transition location is latched using a sampling clock signal, and the signal transition location is converted to a delay value. The delay value is converted to an edge position output, and a value of the edge position output is detected.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2004Publication date: July 28, 2005Applicant: SUNRISE TELECOM INCORPORATEDInventor: Symon Brewer

Patent number: 6873685Abstract: A Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer includes a set of line cards, a set of xDSL modem cards, a redundant xDSL modem card, a test and switching unit, a control unit, and a trunk unit. Each line card may include a switch, through which the control unit may selectively direct the line card to couple to a corresponding xDSL modem card or a redundancy bus. The test and switching unit is coupled to the redundancy bus, and includes a relay matrix and a Copper Loop Tester (CLT). In response to commands received from the control unit, the relay matrix may route redundancy bus signals to the CLT and/or the redundant xDSL modem card. The CLT performs tests to measure or determine subscriber loop electrical characteristics in response to control unit commands, and returns test results to the control unit.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2002Date of Patent: March 29, 2005Assignee: Sunrise Telecom IncorporatedInventor: Raymond L. Chong

Publication number: 20040151127Abstract: A method and system is provided for monitoring the quality of signal transmissions in a communications network by calculating Quality of Services (QoS) scores and corresponding Transmission Impairment Test (TIT) scores, and then monitoring a QoS score to predict a corresponding TIT score. When the predicted TIT score goes below a minimum value, an administrator of the communications network will be informed so that the administrator can determine if services may be needed to restore the quality of signal transmissions. In an embodiment, the communications network includes a cable modem termination system (CMTS); a voice band tester (VBT) coupled to the CMTS; a cable modem tester coupled to the CMTS; and a Voice over Internet Packet (VoIP) monitoring device coupled to the CMTS and the voice band tester. The cable modem tester is located at a location remote from the VBT.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 16, 2004Publication date: August 5, 2004Applicant: SUNRISE TELECOM INCORPORATEDInventor: Raymond L.
