Abstract

See full text

A power line communication amplifier circuit for providing a signal transmission across a power line medium when operating in a transmit mode, and for providing a relatively high input impedance to the power line when in a receive mode includes a unity gain buffer integrally coupled with a filter. The filter operates upon an input signal provided by a digital driver means. A control means is coupled to the digital driver means and to the buffer such that when said amplifier is switched to a receive mode, both the driver means and buffer provide a high input impedance.
