Abstract:
1. An electronic device configured for use as a node in a home network, the electronic device comprising: a preamble generator, configured to generate an outbound preamble for a Multimedia Over Coax Alliance (MoCA) signal; and a doubling circuit comprising: a first multiplexor configured to receive the outbound preamble from the preamble generator and a zero signal, the first multiplexor being configured to select and output one of the received outbound preamble or the zero signal; and a second multiplexor configured to receive the outbound preamble from the preamble generator and the output of the first multiplexor, the second multiplexor being configured to select and output one of the received outbound preamble or the output of the first multiplexor based on a switching signal, wherein the doubling circuit is configured to double the outbound preamble based on the switching signal.
