NOTE 1 the PSD values between breakpoints including the values marked by "Interp" shall

be obtained by interpolation between adjacent breakpoints as follows:

below (f2 175) kHz: on a dB/log10(f) basis; and
above (f2 175) kHz: on a dB/f basis;
where f2 is defined in Table B.1.
NOTE 2 In the Limit PSD masks B7-2 and B7-4, the PSD above 8832 kHz should be
considered preliminary. Reduction in the mask in the band from 8832 kHz to 12000 kHz is
for further study. The minimum roll-off of the anti-alias filter should be specified to limit
unnecessary FEXT to full bandwidth solutions sharing the same cable, to protect the amateur
radio band (10.10 MHz to 10.15 MHz), and to provide flexibility for future band plan
evolution.

Transmitter Power
14. The VDSL signal power needs to be controlled to avoid interference. In
practical terms, this places limits on both the power spectral density (PSD) and
the total in-band power transmitted from VDSL.
15. PSD refers to the power measured with a prescribed resolution
bandwidth. PSD requirements are defined according to the deployment
scenario (i.e. FTTEx or FTTCab) and the presence of narrow band
services.

Annexes 2-4 give some of these downstream and upstream PSD limits specified
by ANSI, ETSI and the ITU respectively. In general, VDSL technology
designed to meet these standards shall transmit PSD no greater than
56.5
dBm/Hz. However, in the case of FTTEx deployment, both ANSI and ETSI
relax their downstream PSD limits to 36.5 dBm/Hz for transmission below
1104 kHz, a level same as that of ADSL. In order to avoid interference to
amateur radio service, VDSL transmission in the frequency bands allocated to
the service shall be suppressed to a level below 80 dBm/Hz.
16. In-band power is total spectral power to be transmitted by a VDSL
system. The standards bodies have imposed in-band power limits on both the
downstream and upstream transmission. The downstream limits may change
according to the deployment scenario. Table 1 gives a comparison of the inband
power limits.
