Abstract
Digital signals are applied to an ungrounded transmission line through a two channel system, one channel being operative in response to a binary '1' the other in response to a binary '0.' Each channel, when active, receives high frequency oscillations through a transformer. One side of the transformer is connected to the emitter-collector circuit of a transistor constituting a main rectifier. A buffer transistor has an emitter-collector circuit connected in series with the main rectifier transistor. A rectifier diode connected to the secondary winding of the transformer furnishes a DC signal to switch the buffer transistor to the conductive state only when high frequency oscillations appear across the secondary winding, that is when the channel is active. A high frequency filter between the main rectifier transistor and the buffer transistor prevents high frequency oscillations from reaching the output.
