ABSTRACT:
A CPU in a subscriber terminal generates upstream data and a transmission request signal as an enable signal for sending the upstream data to a broadcast center. An oscillator generates a carrier wave while the enable signal is being held at a predetermined level. A multiplier multiplies the carrier wave with the upstream data and generates the upstream signal. A transmission level adjusting amplifier amplifies the upstream signal, and the amplified signal is sent onto a cable. A detecting means receives a signal associated with the enable signal and discriminates the presence of the carrier wave. A time constant circuit measures the period of time for which the carrier wave is present in response to output from the detecting means. A switching circuit stops supplying at least the carrier wave of a first frequency onto the cable in response to output from the time constant circuit which indicates that the carrier wave has been exceeded the predetermined period of time.
