  • Patent number: 5333194
    Abstract: An autoequalizing hybrid circuit for providing a cancelation path to minimize the two-wire receive path signals that are reflected onto a two-wire transmit path from a subscriber line interface circuit is disclosed. The hybrid circuit includes a variable impedance balance network. A tone generator injects a set of equalization signals into the receive path which are used to control the setting, or equalization, of the balance network. The tone generator also generates a supervisory signal into the receive path used to monitor the performance of the balance network. A detect circuit monitors the level of the reflected equalization sidetone signals and produces balance signals whenever the equalization signals fall to a null level. The detect circuit also monitors the supervisory sidetone signals and produces a recalibration signal whenever an abrupt change in the signals indicates that the balance network is no longer adequately cancelling their reflected signals.
