This page presents diagrams that represent the signal-to-noise ratio and the modulation depth of the carrier frequencies.

Signal-to-noise ratio

The upper diagram shows the signal-to-noise ratio at each individual downstream carrier.

Modulation depth

The lower diagram is a graph of the modulation depth. The higher the modulation depth, the more bits per time unit are transmitted by the carrier.

A carrier corresponds to a frequency band of 4312.5 Hz. The ADSL transmission range is subdivided into 256 carriers, of which 32 may be used for upstream (to the Internet) and 190 for downstream transmission.

The red marking indicates the pilot tone which is used to synchronize the DSL-Controller with the exchange.
