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 6):
A community access television (CATV) signal distribution system configured to conduct downstream and upstream CATV signals between a CATV network and at least one subscriber device at a subscriber premises, and further configured to conduct in-home entertainment signals between multiple subscriber devices at the subscriber premises connected in an in-home entertainment network, the CATV signals occupying a frequency band which is different from an in-home network frequency band occupied by the in-home entertainment signals, the CATV signal distribution system comprising:\n a CATV signal input port configured for connection to the CATV network; a signal splitter comprising a common terminal configured to be coupled to the CATV signal input port, and two output terminals, the signal splitter configured to divide a CATV downstream signal received at the common terminal into multiple CATV downstream signals supplied at its output terminals, the signal splitter also configured to communicate upstream signals received at each output terminal to the common terminal; a first diplexer comprising a common node, a high-pass node, and a low-pass node, the first diplexer configured to communicate in-home entertainment signals within a predetermined high frequency band between the common node of the first diplexer and the high-pass node of the first diplexer, and further configured to communicate signals at a predetermined low frequency band between the common node and the low-pass node, the low-pass node configured to be coupled to one of the output terminals of the signal splitter, the common node configured to be coupled to at least a first in-home entertainment-compatible subscriber device; a second diplexer comprising a common node, a high-pass node, and a low-pass node, the second diplexer configured to communicate the in-home entertainment signals within the predetermined high frequency band between the common node of the second diplexer and the high-pass node of the second diplexer, and further configured to communicate signals at the predetermined low frequency band between the common node and the low-pass node, the low-pass node configured to be coupled to the other of the output terminals of the signal splitter, the common node configured to be coupled to at least a second in-home entertainment-compatible subscriber device; and an attenuator circuit configured to couple the high-pass node of the first diplexer to the high-pass node of the second diplexer, the attenuator circuit configured to bidirectionally conduct in-home entertainment signals within the predetermined high frequency band between the first and second in-home entertainment-compatible subscriber devices, and configured to control attenuation of in-home entertainment signals within the predetermined high frequency band bidirectionally conducted between the first and second in-home entertainment-compatible subscriber devices.
