    Abstract: A dual-frequency band coupled line directional coupler is configured to provide an enhanced insertion loss level. The directional coupler includes an input port, an output port, a coupled port, a termination port, and a capacitor element. A first track connects the input port to the output port and a second track, which may be substantially parallel to the first track, connects the termination port to the coupled port. A spacing between the capacitor element and the first track is configured to provide the enhanced insertion loss level between the input port and the output port.

    Abstract: A system includes an input and a plurality of outputs. The system also includes an in-home network adapter configured to connect to and be positioned between the input and the plurality of outputs. The system also includes a splitter configured to connect to and be positioned between the in-home network adapter and the plurality of outputs. The input is configured to receive signals in a first bandwidth and signals in a second bandwidth. The in-home network adapter is configured to allow the signals in the second bandwidth to pass from the input to the plurality of outputs and from the plurality of outputs to the input. The in-home network adapter is configured to attenuate or prevent the signals in the first bandwidth from passing from the input to the plurality of outputs, from the plurality of outputs to the input, or both.

    Abstract: A network interface device includes a passive path between an entry port and a first port. The network interface device also includes an active path between the entry port and a second port. The network interface device also includes a buffer in the active path configured to absorb, attenuate, terminate, or isolate radio-frequency (RF) signals. The network interface device also includes a switching element in the active path configured to cause the RF signals to bypass the buffer when the network interface is in a first state that exists during powered operation of the network interface device, and direct the RF signals to the buffer when the network interface device is in a second state that exists during non-powered operation or faulted operation of the network interface device.

    Abstract: An entry device includes an entry port configured to receive cable television (CATV) signals from a headend. The entry device also includes a filter connected to the entry port. The entry device also includes a plurality of first output ports and a plurality of second output ports. The entry device also includes a first path connecting the filter to the first output ports. The first path is configured to have the CATV signals and multimedia over coax alliance (MoCA) signals pass bidirectionally therethrough. The entry device also includes a second path connecting the filter to the second output ports. The second path is configured to have the MoCA signals pass bidirectionally therethrough and to block the CATV signals from passing therethrough.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for a network interface device including an entry port connected to a cable television (CATV) network. A noise suppressor is provided that improves the detection and differentiation between ingress noise and valid upstream signals. The noise suppressor can gate the upstream path logically and dynamically to pass valid upstream signals, while blocking ingress noise form the CATV network.
