Abstract:
An electronic hybrid circuit is disclosed for two-wire to fourwire conversion. Two integrated circuit differential amplifiers are used to provide transmission in each direction. Interconnections are possible between the amplifiers to insure cancellation of reflections from signals traveling in opposite directions.
Abstract:
A regenerative repeater for alternate polarity PCM signals is disclosed that does not require an equalizer or amplifier. The PCM signals are directly detected by (1) determining whether the slope of the pulse is greater or less than a reference value and (2) if its polarity is opposite to that of the preceding pulse. The detected signals are reshaped by a monostable multivibrator and are retimed by a phase-locked loop. The repeater is completely digital except for the slope comparator.
