Patent ID: 6947529

Claim:
A system for transmitting DSL and POTS signals over a local loop, the system comprising: a first load coil for disposal along the local loop to condition the POTS signals, the first load coil including a coupled inductor and multiple capacitive elements for increasing an effective capacitance of the coupled inductor, wherein the multiple capacitive elements have capacitance values relative to an interwinding capacitance value of the coupled inductor to improve transmission of DSL signals across the first load coil; a first DSL signal repeater for disposal along the local loop in series with the first load coil to amplify the DSL signals, the first DSL signal repeater including a second load coil for conditioning POTS signals passing there through, wherein the coupled inductor has first and second windings wrapped about an inductor core, each winding havin an input and an output the multiple capacitive elements further comprising a first capacitive element being disposed between the input of the first winding and the input of the second winding; and a second capacitive element disposed between the output of the first winding and the output of the second winding.
