Hermite wavelets for multicarrier data transmission

The performance of Hermite wavelets as carriers in a digital subscriber loop (DSL) system is evaluated by means of a computer simulation model. The transmission medium, various types of interference and a nearly complete implementation of the transmitter and receiver functions are modelled and simulated. Within this simulation framework, a direct comparison is possible between Hermite wavelet multicarrier modulation (MCM) and sinusoidal MCM, allowing a realistic assessment of the advantages and disadvantages of each method.<>
