Abstract
A system for bidirectional signal transmission of an electrical signal from a transmitter at a first location to a receiver at a second location, and from a transmitter at the second location to a receiver at the first location via a common transmission line forms, with each receiver, a line termination for matching the received electrical signal. Each transmitter is in the form of a combined transmission/termination circuit configuration which may in each case be operated in a transmission operating mode and in a reception/termination operating mode. A control circuit produces an operating mode control signal. Each transmission/termination circuit configuration is configured such that it can be switched either to the transmission operating mode or to the reception/termination operating mode depending on the operating mode control signal which is supplied from the control circuit. A method for bidirectional signal transmission of an electrical signal is also provided.
