Abstract
The present invention provides techniques for analyzing sub-carrier multiplexed (SCM) networks in which a pseudo-random binary sequence (PRBS) test signal is applied to a component or components of the network and the resulting signal is analyzed. A phase locked loop circuit extracts the PRBS and provides a signal which removes from the test signal the frequency component corresponding to the channel under investigation. The spectral properties of the PRBS enable broadband analysis of an SCM network to be carried out.
