  • Patent number: 5893025
    Abstract: The present invention aims to provide a CATV converter which can receive both of analog and digital signals. The CATV converter comprises a second mixer (10) coupled with a first filter (13) which attenuates approximately equal frequency to an audio carrier of an upper adjacent channel and approximately equal frequency to a video carrier of a lower adjacent channel, a first amplifier (14) coupled with an output terminal of the first filter (13), and a second filter (15) coupled with the output terminal of the first amplifier (14). The second filter (15) attenuates a video carrier of the upper adjacent channel and an audio carrier of the lower adjacent channel. When an input signal is within a predetermined frequency range, the input signal fed to the input terminal (1) can short-circuit the input and output terminals of the second filter with a high frequency of the input signal.
