    Abstract

    The feasibility of a multi-carrier system for data-transmission over copper wires at gigabit rates is analyzed. More specific, we look at the effects of jitter and duty-cycle deviations on the SNR and error rate using Matlab simulations. Jitter causes crosstalk between the inphase and quadrature channels of a given tone frequency. Given a certain rms jitter variance, low frequency tones can carry more bits than higher frequency tones for the same error rate. Duty-cycle deviations cause crosstalk both from other carrier frequencies and from quadrature channels. These problems seem so big that a PAM system is likely to be the better choice for gigabit transmission.
