摘要： A premises, connected to receive broadband service(s) and also connected to a cable system, is provided with a broadband interface which connects to in-premises cabling which is coupled to consumer receivers such as a television sets, PDAs, laptops. Connected to the broadband interface is an adjunct device which channels broadband, data and voice signals supplied to an in-premises wireless system as distinguished from the signals supplied to the cable connected consumer receivers. The adjunct device formats the broadband and voice signals or any broadband service into packet format suitable for signal radiation and couples them to the in-premises coax cabling, via a diplexer, at a first selected location. At a second cable location a second diplexer, connected to the cable, separates the broadband, data and voice signals and couples them to a signal radiation device (i.e., an RF antenna or leaky coaxial cable) which radiates the signal to the immediate surrounding location. Various devices, near to the second cable location for specific services, receive the wireless signals (i.e., broadband, data and voice) from the radiating antenna.

摘要： A subscriber loop test apparatus relates to the testing of a subscriber loop by the use of a touchtone telephone. The touchstone buttons on a telephone provide Dual-Tone, Multiple Frequencies for each key pressed. For example, referring to FIG. 1, pressing the ‘3’ key causes tones at 697 and 1477 Hz to be sent across the telephone line. Pressing a sequence of keys provides discrete coverage of the frequency band from 697 to 1477 Hz, through the use of the touchtone telephone. The frequency band from 697 to 1477 Hz can be characterized in this fashion. Information about the line: loop loss (loop length), presence of bridge taps (i.e., excessively long bridge taps in particular) or loading coils, and the presence of Digital Loop Carriers (DLCs), et cetera. The use of the switch-hook flash provides the ability to determine the channel (impulse) response of the loop, including any noise and hum that may be on the loop due to imbalance or coupled interference.

摘要： In an RF filter having an input terminal, an output terminal, a plurality of resonator elements, and a plurality of coupling reactances for coupling one resonator element to another resonator element, for coupling the input terminal to a resonator element, and for coupling the output terminal to a resonator element, techniques are disclosed for providing an RF filter having an electronically tunable center frequency and an electronically tunable bandwidth. According to a specific embodiment disclosed herein, a first shunt reactance is provided from the input terminal to ground, and a second shunt reactance is provided from the output terminal to ground. The values of the coupling reactances remain constant, while the values of the resonator elements, the first shunt reactance, and the second shunt reactance are tuned to provide a specified filter bandwidth and/or a specified center frequency. According to a further embodiment, such a tunable filter is fabricated on a physical substrate having a substantially constant dielectric constant per unit volume, and the coupling reactances include capacitors fabricated using the physical substrate.
