ABSTRACT
The analysis models used in computing crosstalk interference and line attenuation in the original paper [1] were not
provided in the document. The purpose of this document is to clarify this by specifying the FEXT, NEXT, and line
attenuation models. The analysis models provided herein are consistent with those models agreed upon at the
Nuremberg SG15/Q4 meeting on August 6, 1999 [4], [5]. These models will be used by all ITU-T SG15/Q4
participants who perform G.pnt – VDSL crosstalk analyses. This will facilitate the generation of uniform and consistent
results.

Crosstalk combining models and line attenuation model
The PSD of G.PNT NEXT is expressed as:
PSDPNT  NEXT ( f )  PSDPNT  Disturber( f ) xn f
3
2
where xn = 8.818 n/49)0.6 or equivalently, xn = 0.8536 n0.6 for n<50.
The FEXT loss model is:
H FEXT  f   klf 2 H channel  f  
2
2
where H channel  f  is the channel transfer function, k is the coupling constant and is 8 10-20 (n/49)0.6 for
n<50 or 3.083 10-20 for 10, 1% worst-case disturbers, l is the coupling path length in feet, f is in Hz. The
FEXT noise PSD is therefore:
PSDPNT  FEXT ( f )  PSDPNT  Disturber( f ) H FEXT  f 
2
Alternately, VDSL NEXT and FEXT noise interference into G.PNT use the same equations.
In the presence of both VDSL and HPNA disturbers, the combined NEXT PSD is expressed according to
the crosstalk combining model in [4]

where n1 and n2 are the number of G.PNT and VDSL disturbers respectively and
XN = 8.536  10-15.
Similarly, the combined FEXT PSD due to VDSL and HPNA disturbers is expressed as


where n1 and n2 are the number of G.PNT and VDSL disturbers respectively with coupling path lengths l1
and l2, and XF = 7.7441  10-21. |H1(f)| and |H2(f)| are the channel transfer functions of the loop over lengths
l1 and l2. In [1], the coupling path lengths l1 and l2 are equal.
The total crosstalk power is obtained by summing the individual NEXT and FEXT powers.
We use G.VDSL loops with no bridged taps having lengths of 300 m, 900 m, 1200 m, and 4500 ft (all of 26
AWG). The R, L, C, G paremeters for the loops were obtained from [3, Table 3.4].
A 3 dBm/Hz exit loss was assumed on the G.PNT transmit spectra while computing the crosstalk powers.
The point of injection of NEXT and FEXT is assumed to be at the network interface device (NID) end.
