Abstract:
The invention relates to the implementation of narrowband and broadband services in a telecommunications network. A splitter element is connected to a transmission link, the splitter element comprising a passive low-pass filter block connected between the transmission link and a first interface, a high-pass filter unit connected between the transmission link and a second interface, and discrete impedance converting means for adapting the first interface to the characteristic impedance of the transmission link. In order that the impedance matching required by the low-pass filter block may be implemented in an economical way yet maintaining the service quality, the impedance converting means are entirely placed between the interface of the low-pass filter block on the transmission link side and the first interface.
Abstract:
A filter according to an embodiment of the invention actively adapts terminal equipment and a subscriber line to each other by conforming to the electric properties of the subscriber line. Then the filter virtually changes the electric properties of the subscriber line more advantageous for the terminal equipment.
