    Abstract: Apparatus for switching and combining based on external signaling is provided wherein a locally generated modulated carrier (or carriers) is inserted into a CATV system between the cable head end and video decoding/rendering device without requiring unused channels or the loss of any incoming services. An RF switch is controlled by a switch control processor based on knowledge of the video decoding/rendering device current tuning requirements to select between the full spectrum coming from the CATV system the locally generated and inserted channel. Current tuning requirements for the attached video decoding/rendering device may be input to the switch control processor from the video decoding/rendering device itself or from a separate device with knowledge of the current service requirements.

    Abstract: A method of channel processing is provided wherein multiple reduced-bandwidth “processing blocks” may be combined at RF to allow for the continuous and flexible placement of multiple-channels across the full or partial CATV output band. Each reduced-bandwidth processing block is associated with a fixed-frequency upconversion. In order to allow for continuous agile channel placement, the processing blocks overlap one another in frequency at RF. In the case where it is not necessary that the full CATV band be available to the combined output, the number of required processing blocks and upconversion paths is reduced and individual processing blocks and upconversion paths may be used to cover multiple non-contiguous frequency bands.

    Abstract: A distortion-cancellation method for analog CATV or QAM transmission over cable is provided wherein a single feedback path from the output of a multiple-channel multiple-port upconverter/modulator is down-converted and used to reduce or cancel undesirable noise components including LO leakage, spurious, and modulated noise. The method allows for real-time monitoring, tuning, or control of the CATV/QAM output and of interfering signals and aging effects as compared to a desired performance metric.
