Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to an apparatus ( 300 ) and method ( 400, 600 ) for controlling a filter circuit ( 500 ) in a signal communication device ( 300 ). The apparatus ( 300 ) and method ( 400, 600 ) of the present disclosure receives ( 410 ) an indication of a plurality of channels used to transmit upstream communication signals in an upstream communication portion of a frequency range. Furthermore, the apparatus ( 300 ) and method ( 400, 600 ) of the present disclosure determines ( 420 ) a maximum frequency value among all frequencies used by the plurality of channels based on the indication and adjusts ( 430 ) a filter response in a filter circuit ( 500 ) used to separate the upstream communication signals from the downstream communication signals in a communication device ( 300 ) based on the determined uppermost frequency value.

Claim (Index 21):
The apparatus of  claim 20 , wherein the upstream communication portion of the frequency range is limited to a first frequency range or a second frequency range and the downstream communication portion of the frequency range is limited to a third frequency range or a forth frequency range, the second frequency range includes the first frequency range and has a higher upper frequency limit than the first frequency range, the third frequency range is above the first frequency range and the fourth frequency range is above the third frequency range, the first lowpass filter only passes signals in the first frequency range and the first highpass filter only passes signals in the third frequency range, the second lowpass filter only passes signals in the second frequency range and the second highpass filter only passes signals in the fourth frequency range.
