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 30):
A community access television (CATV) signal distribution system comprising:\n a CATV signal input port configured for connection to a CATV network; a signal splitter comprising a common splitter terminal and at least two splitter output terminals, wherein:\n the common splitter terminal couples to the CATV signal input port, \n the signal splitter is configured to divide a CATV downstream signal received at the common terminal into multiple CATV downstream signals supplied at the at least two splitter output terminals, \n the signal splitter is configured to communicate upstream signals received at the at least two splitter output terminals to the common splitter terminal; \n a first diplexer comprising a first common node, a first high-pass node, and a first low-pass node, wherein:\n the first diplexer is configured to communicate signals within a predetermined high frequency band between the first common node of the first diplexer and the first high-pass node of the first diplexer, \n the first diplexer is configured to communicate signals at a predetermined low frequency band between the first common node and the first low-pass node, \n the first low-pass node directly connects to a first splitter output terminal of the at least two splitter output terminals, and \n the first common node is configured to be coupled to at least a subscriber device; \n a second diplexer comprising a second common node, a second high-pass node, and a second low-pass node, wherein:\n the second diplexer is configured to communicate signals within the predetermined high frequency band between the second common node of the second diplexer and the second high-pass node of the second diplexer, \n the second diplexer is configured to communicate signals at the predetermined low frequency band between the second common node of the second diplexer and the second low-pass node of the second diplexer, \n the second low-pass node of the second diplexer directly connects to a second splitter output terminal of the at least to splitter output terminals, \n the common node of the second diplexer is configured to be coupled to at least a second in-home entertainment-compatible subscriber device, and \n the second high-pass node of the second diplexer is configured to couple to the first high-pass node of the first diplexer, and \n an attenuator circuit configured to condition the signals within the predetermined high frequency band, wherein the second high-pass node of the second diplexer and the first high-pass node of the first diplexer are configured to bidirectionally communicate the signals within the predetermined high frequency band among a plurality of subscriber devices via the attenuator circuit.
