Chris, I would hesitate to point you to anything prior to the current tsunami of information that is now available in all forms, especially in the way of some well-written texts. Within the last year alone, texts have been written for all backgrounds, addressing residential broadband technologies. Go to the Amazon and Barnes&Noble web sites do a search for broadband, residential broadband, cable modem, adsl, wireless broadband, satellite, etc., and you will find a slew of new textbooks that you might want to consider. I personally would go to my nearest McGraw Hill Technical Book Store or B&N and browse for what is comfortable to me. You may also want to ask the same question over in the Last Mile Thread, here in SI: Subject 4754 Frank

Hello Chris, such a side-by-side comparison is going to be an apples to oranges comparison, so I'm assuming what you're after--at this point--is a place to start. Try these for starters: w3.sba.oakland.edu nap.edu ci.san-jose.ca.us but there are literally hundreds of others. I'm not exactly sure what you're looking for since I don't know what you mean by "noise rejection characteristics." After browsing the above links and any others you happen across, feel free to come back with further inquiries. A text that looks like a good starting point, and sounds as if it is written in less technical terms (and is very inexpensive as books go)would be:http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/157231513X/ref=sim_books/102-5327711-2313668 It's always a good idea to get more than 1 reference since most technical books have lots of "padding" that I'm sure the publisher forced the author to add in order to have more broad appeal. Often times this "breadth" is a bit beyond the author's expertise and is very shallow. One author that comes to mind--Uyless Black--is literally a technical book generator: amazon.com I'm sure he has several that cover topics of interest to you so you may want to look him up. He has one book called Residental Broadband Networks, which I have, that I found a bit too general for me but others I know have found the book valuable for getting started. HTH, dh
