Patent ID: 8400318

Claim:
A signal level detection method comprising: providing a transmission system comprising a signal receiving device, a signal emitting source and a feed line system connected between said signal receiving device and said signal emitting source, wherein said feed line system comprises a plurality of coaxial cable connectors connected between a plurality of coaxial cable sections, wherein each coaxial cable connector of said coaxial cable connectors comprises a connector body, a coupling circuit positioned within the connector body, an electrical signal power level detection circuit electrically connected to said coupling circuit and comprised by the connector body, and an output component comprised by the connector body, and wherein said output component is in communication with said electrical parameter sensing circuit; sensing, by at least one said coupling circuit, an electrical signal flowing through at least one associated coaxial cable connector of said plurality of coaxial cable connectors; and detecting, by at least one said electrical signal power level detection circuit, a plurality of associated power levels of said electrical signal flowing through said at least one associated coaxial cable connector.
