Optimisation and simulation methodology for passive ADSL splitter design

Abstract

The constraints to manage in a telecom splitter design are numerous and according to a given splitter structure, the choice became difficult. The paper proposes a software tool allowing the design of such filters. This one carries out the modelling of the electrical circuit configurations, and creates the corresponding computation code, used for simulation or optimisation. The methodology is detailed and applied on an ADSL splitter design.
