Abstract: The present invention discloses circuits for isolating and attenuating signals generated by a telephone network. In disclosed embodiments, a metering pulse signal is isolated from the terminals of the connecting device, and then attenuated with an impedance that is synthesized with a programmable digital signal processor.

Abstract: The present invention provides apparatus and methods for attenuating signals received from a source over a data transmission line, having an unknown resistance, to achieve optimized signals in various data terminal and data communications equipment. In a preferred embodiment, a resistor network is operably coupled between the transmission line and a means for processing the signal, such as a digital processor, an ADC and a DAC. The resistor network comprises a termination resistor that is associated with a termination voltage, a variable resistor and another resistor. During use, a switch is operably positioned between a plurality of switch positions so that two voltage measurements will lead to the determination of the voltage of the source and the termination voltage within the resistor network. Once these voltages are known, the unknown resistance can be estimated. Thereafter, the length of the transmission line may be determined because of known resistance-per-unit-distance characteristics of the transmission line. In response to knowing this length, the digital processor selects a desired resistance value for the variable resistor so that, upon adjustment of the variable resistor by the DAC, the signal becomes a largest-possible input at the ADC.

Abstract: A circuit is provided for creating a termination impedance which matches a characteristic impedance. The characteristic impedance of a system or network is matched by placing a nominal impedance across the transmission line. The difference between the nominal impedance and the characteristic impedance is synthesized such that the synthesized or generated impedance is in parallel with the nominal impedance. The parallel combination of the nominal impedance and the generated impedance produces a termination impedance which substantially matches the characteristic impedance. The generated impedance is created by sensing a voltage and scaling that voltage by a factor related to the nominal and characteristic impedances. The scaled voltage controls a current source which produces a current having a value related to the inverse of the impedance. The ration of the sensed voltage and the generated current is the impedance which, when combined with the nominal impedance, produces the desired termination impedance. In this manner, the characteristic impedance of the source is matched by the altered nominal impedance.
