Abstract: Nodes, amplifiers, and taps for an improved hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) network and methods for managing signals in an improved HFC network are shown and disclosed. The method may include receiving, at a node, a downstream optical signal in a higher-frequency band and a lower-frequency band separated from the higher-frequency band. The method may additionally include amplifying, at the node, the lower-frequency band by a magnitude different than that of the higher-frequency band. The method may further include combining, at the node, the higher-frequency band and the lower-frequency band into an output signal after the lower-frequency band has been amplified.

Abstract: A method is provided to calibrate a monitor photodiode that measures the optical output power generated by an optoelectronic transceiver module that includes a burst mode laser diode. The method includes disabling the power control loop that controls an average optical output power generated by the laser diode during a laser burst. A series of logic zero signals is applied to a data input of the transceiver module and the logic zero level of the optical signal generated by the burst mode laser diode while applying the series of logic zero signals is measured. The logic zero bias level applied to the laser diode is adjusted until the measured logic zero level of the optical signal reaches a first desired value. While maintaining the optical signal at the first desired value, a first value of a current generated by the monitor photodiode in response to optical energy received from a back facet of the laser diode is stored.

Abstract: A method of integrating a device into a secure network. The method includes establishing a tunnel between an authenticator, which has a first public key and a first secret, and a device, which has a second secret and a second public key. The method also includes hashing the first secret at the authenticator using the first public key, the second public key and a random number generated from the tunnel protocol to produce a hash of the first secret. The method further includes establishing an authenticated session between the device and the authenticator when the hash of the first secret matches a hash of the second secret.
