  • Patent number: 7541957
    Abstract: An electronic filter device for the reception of TV-signals, comprising a plurality of frequency determining elements settable by means of an analog setting voltage, a memory (2) for storing digital values representative of the analog setting voltages and conversion circuitry (11-14) for converting the digital values into the analog setting voltages. The conversion circuitry comprises a first part (11-13) for generating a digitally modulated signal for each digital value, the digitally modulated signal having a modulated characteristic representative of the digital value, and a second part (14) for converting each of the digitally modulated signals into the analog setting voltages.

  • Publication number: 20080222683
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system comprising a plurality of groups of one or more TV-signal distribution units connected to each other in cascade. Each TV-signal distribution unit comprising a plurality of lines for transporting input signals coming from a head end from an input side to an output side of the unit. At least one of the TV-signal distribution units of each group comprises measurement means for measuring a signal characteristic of a TV-signal transported on the lines, a programmable processing means for comparing each of the measured signal characteristics with at least one programmable reference value and determining a signal quality from each comparison, and indicator means for indicating the signal qualities to an installer of the system. The invention further relates to a method for installing such a system and a signal degradation compensation system.
