Abstract
—Carrierless amplitude and phase (CAP) is one of the modulation schemes that has been proposed to accomplish the task of transporting high bit-rate data over cheap copper wire pairs. In this paper, we reexamined some CAP receiver structures that have been proposed in the literature and showed that the modified quadrature amplitude modulation receiver can offer a significant advantage over the other receiver structures through its greater immunity to timing phase errors. Our recommendation,is based on an analysis of the eye diagram of a received CAP signal. Index Terms—CAP receiver, digital subscriber line, eye dia-
