  • Equalizing device for cable distribution network
    Patent number: 6606013
    Abstract: The invention relates to an equalizing device (62) intended to be used in a signal processing device (30) of a cable distribution network (1). The equalizing device according to the invention comprises two branches (B1, B2) brought together at the input (IN) and output (OUT) via two diplexers (SS, RC). At least either of the two branches includes an attenuator (V1, V2, V3). The passband of the two diplexers is determined to compensate for the faults caused by the distribution network. Advantageously, either of the two branches comprises an attenuator which is adjustable. The control of the adjustable attenuator is local or remote. The shape of the frequency response of such an equalizing device is regular when the value of the attenuation varies.
