摘要:
A telephone extender is disclosed herein which includes a pair of bidirectional current flow control circuit paths for connection into each of the pair of lines of a telephone line loop. Each of the bidirectional current flow control circuit paths includes a pair of cross couples switching transistors for providing one current path and a single transistor in series with an external power source providing the other current path. Only a single power source is connected in one or the other of the telephone lines. A high impedance cross coupling is connected between the pair of bidirectional current flow control circuit paths so that proper polarity conduction occurs in each circuit.

摘要:
A loop extension unit for transmission circuits for increasing the central switching office to subscriber station range. The unit provides dial pulse repeating, transmission of ringing signals from whatever source provided and other supervisory signalling. Interruption of ringing is controlled by the unit by detection of an off-hook condition at the subscriber location with the ringing circuit locked out during completion of the subscriber loop between the central office and the station. DC isolation of the unit is provided by utilizing a periodically varying signal generator and transformer coupling as part of the pulse repeating circuitry.
摘要:
A circuit for increasing the flow of telephone line current in telephone systems which utilize reverse battery supervision and the grounding of the telephone line at the subscriber station for supervisory or control purposes. Power booster networks connected in series with respective sides of a telephone line each include a semiconductor switch for controlling the flow of current toward the subscriber station and a semiconductor switch for controlling the flow of current away from the subscriber station. A DC auxiliary source is connected in series with one switch in each power booster network. The conduction of the different switches is controlled in accordance with the voltages present in the telephone system to direct telephone line current flow through that one of the DC auxiliary sources which is in power aiding relationship to said current flow despite changes in the direction of current flow in one or both sides of the telephone line.

Systems and methods are described for digital subscriber loop repeaters. A method of transforming a digital subscriber loop signals includes increasing a gain with a digital subscriber loop repeater including: isolating an upstream signal band by passing an upstream signal through an upstream pass filter; amplifying the isolated upstream signal with an upstream amplifier; isolating a downstream signal band by passing a downstream signal through a downstream pass filter; and amplifying the isolated downstream signal with a downstream amplifier. The systems and methods provide advantages because DSL can be provided over long loops and/or over coil loaded loops.

An improved telephone customer transmission line conditioner, method of making a line conditioner, improved build-out, method of making a build-out, and improved method of conditioning a line using the line conditioner and/or the improved build-out provide improved voice-band transmission as compared to a bare twisted pair, while also allowing the transmission of high-frequency digital signals, such as ADSL signals and other signals. The apparatus and method provide a boost in the high end of the voice-band (approximately 2 kHz to 3.4 kHz) to compensate for the roll-off normally located there in a bare cable, and also provide a substantial rise in the frequency response in a frequency range used for high-frequency digital transmissions. A notch in the response between frequency bands suppresses harmonic cross talk between bands.

A dual-supply line-interface circuit (100) uses a −48V power supply (VBAT1) to drive long subscriber loops (120) and uses a −28V power supply (VBAT2) to drive short subscriber loops. For intermediate-length loops, a dual-slope current-feed profile (FIG. 4) is employed to limit the line-circuit's power dissipation. The line-interface circuit operates in an apparent constant-current mode, generating about 40 mA of differential line current using the low power supply, up to a threshold line voltage of about 25V, which is equal to the low power supply voltage minus required overhead. For longer loops, the line-interface circuit switches to a second constant-current mode, generating about 22 mA of differential current using the high power supply, which maintains the loop current constant until it drops to the 48V resistive-feed value.
摘要:
The disclosure shows a telephone range extender which is automatically adaptable to the length of the connected subscriber loop. A loop resistance detector within the range extender discriminates between loops within a plurality of ranges of lengths. For extremely short loops not requiring range extension, the range extender circuits are disconnected from the loop. For intermediate length loops, the gain of a bidirectional voice frequency amplifier is set at a low value to provide just sufficient gain for these loops. For longer loops, the gain of the amplifier is increased to provide sufficient amplification for the longer range. For extremely long loops, the range extender is disconnected since such loops must be served by remote amplification facilities. An automatic range extender of this type is shown connected behind the first stage of the central office switch in order to concentrate range extenders on a larger plurality of subscriber loops.
