  • Arrangement for adjusting amplification
    Patent number: 11297280
    Abstract: A network element of a cable television (CATV) network, comprising a first input for downstream signal transmission; a plurality of components arranged to form a downstream signal path, wherein at least one of said components is a downstream amplifier (330); a second input for upstream signal transmission; a plurality of components arranged to form an upstream signal path, wherein at least one of said components is an upstream amplifier (340); means (360) for inputting a control signal for adjusting one or more amplification parameters of the downstream amplifier; and means (350) for adjusting one or more amplification parameters of the upstream amplifier, wherein said one or more amplification parameters of the upstream amplifier are automatically calculated on the basis of the one or more amplification parameters of the downstream amplifier.
    Type: Grant

  • Arrangement for CATV network
    Patent number: 10841009
    Abstract: A network element (200) of a cable television (CATV) network, comprising an input (204) for upstream signal transmission; at least two diplex filters (210, 212, 214) configured to be connected to said input (204), a first diplex filter (210) comprising a bandpass filter for a first upstream frequency band and a second diplex filter (212) comprising a bandpass filter for a second upstream frequency band; a switch (208) for connecting one of said at least two diplex filters to said input; wherein the network element is configured to be remotely controlled by a headend of the CATV network for selecting the diplex filter.
