Abstract:
A digital signal line echo reduction adaptor is configured to connect adjacent to a first end of a bridgetap line. The bridgetap line has a second end connected to a carrier communication line. The digital signal line echo reduction adaptor reduces an effect of echo from the bridgetap line on a rate of data transmission over the carrier communication line.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to an adaptor for measuring an echo return loss in a communication system. The adaptor includes two transformers, each having a primary winding and two secondary windings. The secondary windings are cross-connected to form first and second out of phase circuits. The first circuit includes impedance elements which match an impedance of an external device. When the external device is attached to the second circuit, the first and second circuits are schematically equivalent, albeit out of phase. When an oscillation signal is input to one transformer, the matched impedance and out-of-phase connection of the secondary windings cancel the signal such that only an echo signal is output by the other transformer.
Abstract:
A digital signal line transmission system with reduced echo is provided. A communication line is between a carrier and a user terminal. A bridgetap line has a first end connected to the communication line. An adaptor having a capacitance is connected to the bridgetap line. The adaptor reduces the effect of echo from the bridgetap line on a rate of data transmission to the user terminal over the communication line.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to an adaptor for simulating the presence of a PBX device in a telephone network. The adaptor connects to an external line from the central office, and a test set. When the central office seizes the line, the adaptor responds by inducing a wink. The central office, believing that it has received an authentic PBX response, sends data to the PBX site responsive to the wink. The adaptor relays these signals to the external test set for analysis.
