Publication number: 20230098709Abstract: A Multimedia over Coax Alliance (MoCA) gateway splitter that includes a directional coupler (including a first transmission path and a second transmission path), a gateway port and a cable television (CATV) input port each electrically connected to the first transmission path, and a MoCA port electrically connected to the second transmission path such that the MoCA port is isolated from the CATV input port and coupled to the gateway port. Multiple MoCA ports may be electrically connected to the second transmission path (e.g., via a resistive splitter). The second transmission path may be electrically connected to ground. The MoCA gateway splitter may include multiple (e.g., two or three) gateway ports, each electrically connected to the CATV input port via a directional coupler (and, e.g., one or more hybrid splitters). In those embodiments, each directional coupler may be electrically connected to the MoCA port(s), for example, via a common microstrip node.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 5, 2022Publication date: March 30, 2023Inventors: Brian J. Shapson, Hai Qun Hong, Robert L. Romerein, Rong Hui Li

Publication number: 20230017123Abstract: A provider equipment identification (ID) device includes a provider equipment with a plurality of output ports and an ID beacon device. The provider equipment is configured to perform a signal processing operation on an input signal and deliver an output signal to one or more of the output ports. The ID beacon device is coupled to the provider equipment. The ID beacon device is configured to output at least one pilot beacon signal which is receivable by each of the output ports to electrically excite each of the output ports such that the at least one pilot beacon signal is introduced in the output signal to generate an altered output signal capable of identifying the provider equipment.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2022Publication date: January 19, 2023Inventors: Brian J. SHAPSON, Robert L. ROMEREIN, Rong Hui LI, Hai Qun HONG
