Abstract:
A network converter that comprises:an encoder/decoder configured to convert an encoded transmit signal received from a network interface card into a decoded transmit signal, and further configured to convert a decoded receive signal into an encoded receive signal that, is provided to the network interface card; a transmit-side differential converter configured to convert the decoded transmit signal into a differential transmit signal; a phase modulator configured to convert the differential transmit signal into a modulated radio frequency signal; a bandpass filter configured to convert the modulated radio frequency signal into a transmit signal that travels over a two wire medium; an amplifier configured to convert a receive signal from the two wire medium into a filtered radio frequency receive signal; a phase demodulator configured to convert the filtered radio frequency receive signal into a baseband receive signal; and a receive-side differential converter configured to convert the baseband receive signal into the decoded receive signal provided to the encoder/decoder.
