Abstract
A radio-frequency amplifier for a cable network includes a forward amplifier configured to amplify a high frequency range of signals that are provided downstream to a cable receiver of the cable network and a return amplifier configured to amplify a low frequency range of signals that are provided upstream to a head end of the cable network. An out-of-band forward amplifier configured to amplify a digitally protected video signal having a frequency in a range between 70 MHz and 130 MHz that are provided downstream to the cable receiver of the cable network and a notch filter configured to reject the amplified digitally protected video signal having the frequency in the range between 70 MHz and 130 MHz from being amplified by the return amplifier.
