TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEM USING TRANSMISSION LINES AND REPEATERS

摘要

A telecommunication system uses a long main transmission line which extends from a base station and has repeaters along its length. A parallel line is divided into sections corresponding in length to the distance between repeaters. Selected sections are connected in parallel with the main line through switches which operate at about a 3 kHz frequency. The switching operation reduces alternations in the main signal and mitigates problems arising from standing waves.
