Abstract:
This invention disclosure relates to a community access television (CATV) signal distribution system which improves signal isolation issues for systems which are distributing both CATV signals and in-home entertainment (IHE) signals. The signal distribution system includes a signal input port, a first multi-port signal splitter and a second multi-port signal splitter. The first multi-port signal splitter is coupled to the signal input port through a first diplexer, and the second multi-port signal splitter is coupled to the signal input port through a second diplexer. In some embodiments the first diplexer high-pass node and the second diplexer high-pass node are coupled together. In some embodiment the signal distribution system includes a signal output port coupled to the signal input port through a third diplexer. The high-pass node of the third diplexer is coupled to the high-pass node of the first diplexer.

Claim (Index 1):
A community access television (CATV) signal distribution system comprising:\n a CATV port configured to connect the CATV signal distribution system to a CATV network; a first plurality of device ports configured to connect the CATV signal distribution system to a first plurality of subscriber devices; a second plurality of device ports configured to connect the CATV signal distribution system to a second plurality of subscriber devices; a CATV signal splitter comprising a common terminal, a first output terminal, and a second output terminal, wherein:\n the common terminal of the CATV signal splitter is coupled to the CATV signal input port and configured to receive a CATV signal from the input port; \n the CATV signal splitter is configured to divide a CATV downstream signal received at the common terminal into multiple CATV downstream signals supplied to the first and second output terminals of the signal splitter, and \n the CATV signal splitter is configured to combine CATV upstream signals received at the first and second output terminals of the CATV signal splitter; \n a first device signal splitter comprising a first common terminal and a first plurality of output terminals, wherein the first plurality of output terminals of the first device signal splitter are coupled to the first plurality of device ports; a second device signal splitter comprising a second common terminal and a second plurality of output terminals, wherein the second plurality of output terminals of the second device signal splitter are coupled to the second plurality of device ports; a first diplexer comprising a common terminal, a high-pass terminal, and a low-pass terminal, the first diplexer configured to:\n communicate signals within a predetermined high frequency band between the common terminal of the first diplexer and the high-pass terminal of the first diplexer, and \n communicate signals within a predetermined low frequency band between the common terminal of the first diplexer and the low-pass terminal of the first diplexer, \n wherein the common terminal of the first diplexer is coupled to the common terminal of the first device signal splitter, \n wherein the low-pass terminal of the first diplexer is coupled to the common terminal of the CATV signal splitter, and \n a second diplexer comprising a common terminal, a high-pass terminal, and a low-pass terminal, the second diplexer configured to:\n communicate signals within the predetermined high frequency band between the common terminal of the second diplexer and the high-pass terminal of the second diplexer, \n communicate signals at the predetermined low frequency band between the common terminal of the second diplexer and the low-pass terminal of the second diplexer, \n wherein the common terminal of the second diplexer is coupled to the common terminal of the second device signal splitter, \n wherein the low-pass terminal of the second diplexer is coupled to the second output terminal of the CATV signal splitter, and \n wherein the high-pass terminal of the second diplexer is coupled to the high-pass terminal of the first diplexer; and \n an attenuator circuit configured to:\n bidirectionally communicate the signals within the predetermined high frequency band transmitted between the common terminal of the first diplexer and the common terminal of the second diplexer through the high-pass terminal of the first diplexer and the high-pass terminal of the second diplexer, and \n control a level of attenuation of the signals in the predetermined high frequency band bidirectionally communicated between from the high-pass terminal of the first diplexer to the high-pass terminal of the second diplexer.
