Abstract

See full text

An inductively coupled sensing circuit for use on a common cable communications system is disclosed. When used in conjunction with transceivers on a common cable system, the circuit is capable of both detecting signals and determining the direction of any colliding signals while the transceiver is operating. An inherently balanced bridge is created by coupling the transmitter lead between two elements of the sensing circuit. Each receiver is provided with means for determining the polarity of the sensing circuit, thereby determining the direction of any incoming signal. The use of this sensing circuit in a common cable system allows a hierarchy among cable users to be created thereby optimizing cable use. A left or right priority is determined by the polarity of an end signal transmitted at the end of each transmission.
