Systems and methods for amplifying signals propagated along a span of cable that imposes a loss tilt, and such that the loss tilt is canceled so as to provide unity gain, by modulating amplification as a function of frequency of an amplifier adjacent the span.

Amplifier for extended spectrum DOCSIS

A design for a Tunable Cable Simulator with a minimum number of components and low insertion loss.

Electronic tunable cable simulator

In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a bi-directional coupler for coupling an upstream signal and a downstream signal to a termination load. A test point detection mechanism is configured to detect when a test point device is inserted in a test point connector. The test point device is configured to perform a test of the upstream signal or the downstream signal. A switch is configured to switch from being coupled to the termination load to being coupled to the test point device when the test point device is detected as being inserted in the test point connector. The switch is configured to switch from being coupled to being coupled to the test point device to the termination load when the test point device is detected as being removed from being inserted in the test point connector.

Systems and methods for reducing the variation in the power of optical signals transmitted in an upstream direction, at the inputs of an active combiner in an RFoG CATV architecture preferably configured to reduce optical beat interference, so as to increase the dynamic range of a laser in the active combiner.

In one embodiment, a computing device detects a module that is inserted into a first slot. The computing device includes a first slot to operate with a first type of module and a second slot to operate with a second type of module. The first slot and the second slot include a same pin position for receiving a power supply pin from the first type of module and the second type of module. The module is communicated with to determine whether the module is the first type of module or the second type of module. The first type of module receives a first type of signal that is combined with a second type of signal from the second type of module. The computing device adjusts a power supply voltage to the power supply pin of the first slot from a first value to a second value when the first type of module is detected.
