Abstract:
1. A communication system comprising: two or more non-regenerative hybrid converters, wherein each of the two or more hybrid converters includes: (1) an antenna adapted to receive one or more radio frequency signals at one or more subcarrier frequencies, and (2) a frequency shifting circuit adapted to frequency shift a received radio frequency signal to a distribution line frequency; a centralized controller adapted to receive the non-regenerated frequency shifted signal from one or more of the two or more hybrid converters, through one or more distribution lines, and to demodulate the non-regenerated frequency shifted signal; and a selective filter functionally associated with each of the two or more hybrid converters, wherein the selective filter associated with a given hybrid converter is adapted to block a given subcarrier frequency of a given signal received at the given hybrid converter when the given signal is determined to impede demodulation of the given subcarrier frequency at said centralized controller.
