SIGNAL AMPLIFIERS THAT SUPPORT MOCA COMMUNICATIONS AT BOTH ACTIVE AND PASSIVE OUTPUT PORTS

摘要

RF signal amplifiers are provided that include an RF input port, a power divider network having a plurality of active output ports, an active path connecting the RF input port to the power divider network, the active path including an upstream diplexer, a downstream diplexer and a power amplifier between the upstream diplexer and the downstream diplexer, a passive output port, a MoCA diplexer that is coupled to the passive output port, a passive path connecting the RF input port to the MoCA diplexer and a MoCA rejection filter between the power divider network and the active path.

1. A radio frequency (RF) signal amplifier, comprising:
an RF input port; a power divider network having a plurality of active RF output ports; an active communications path connecting the RF input port to the power divider network, the active communications path including an upstream diplexer, a downstream diplexer and a power amplifier between the upstream diplexer and the downstream diplexer; a passive RF output port; a passive path diplexer that is coupled to the passive RF output port, wherein the passive path diplexer routes signals in a service provider network frequency band differently than signals in a second network frequency band, the service provider network frequency band being different than the second network frequency band; a passive communications path connecting the RF input port to the passive path diplexer; and a MoCA rejection filter between the power divider network and the active communications path.
