ABSTRACT:
An electronic hybrid for coupling signals between two wire and four wire transmission circuits, and capable of meeting the operating requirements of practical telephone systems. The hybrid includes a pair of terminating impedances serially connected between the two wire port and the circuitry driving that port, the impedances being precisely matched and coupled to a.c. ground, thereby providing a hybrid with excellent longitudinal balance. Amplifiers driving the two wire port through the terminating impedance may be biased to couple a d.c. potential to the two wire line whereby the terminating impedances serve as battery feed resistors. Reverse signal recovery is provided by an amplifier differentially connected to the two wire port, achieving excellent longitudinal rejection and further allowing the amplifier to serve a supervisory function. Two of such hybrids, connected back to back, with amplification interposed therebetween, form an improved transformerless repeater. In this embodiment, the amplifier may be constructed to be of variable gain, with the gain automatically adjusted as a function of sensed loop current, whereby the repeater may be installed without manually adjusting the amplification to suit the loop length.
