Abstract
A circuit arrangement prevents clipping of pulse metering (teletax) signals in a telephone line card channel that results from the differential impedance between a subscriber line interface circuit (SLIC) and the line at the frequency band of teletax signals. The circuit arrangement is configured to sense pulse metering signals through a delay circuit, which is coupled to a reflected signal cancellation circuit. The reflected signal cancellation circuit contains a transconductance amplifier circuit that generates a pair of complementary polarity output currents representative of the sensed teletax signal. One of these output currents is fed back to a programmed impedance element in the transmission channel path of the SLIC so as to effectively cancel the reflected teletax signal.
