Abstract
An tie line adapter for use with a first communication system and a second communication system, the first communication system having a tie line with a first characteristic and the second communication system having a tie line with a second characteristic. The tie line adapter having a first controller for controlling the first characteristic, a second controller for controlling the second characteristic, wherein the first characteristic and the second characteristic are adjusted to match each other to allow communication between the first communication system and the second communication system.
Claims18
An tie line adapter for use with a first communication system and a second communication system, said first communication system having a tie line with a first characteristic and said second communication system having a tie line with a second characteristic, said tie line adapter having a first controller for controlling said first characteristic, a second controller for controlling said second characteristic, wherein said first characteristic and said second characteristic are adjusted to substantially match each other to allow communication between said first communication system and second communication system.
A method for controlling a plurality of characteristics associated with a first tie line and a second tie line to allow communication between a pair of devices, said method including the steps of:
- associating said characteristics with input and output parameters of each of said tie lines;
- and
- adjusting said input parameter of said first tie line and adjusting said output parameters of the second tie line such that there is a substantial match between said characteristics of each of said tie line to facilitate efficient power transfer between said devices, said step of adjusting including the further steps of:
- selectively choosing a value of at least one of a plurality of parameters of said first tie line characteristics to cause said value of said at least one of a plurality of parameter to substantially match a value of said at least one of a plurality of parameters of said second tie line characteristics;
- and
- selectively choosing a value of at least one of a plurality of parameters of said second tie line characteristics to cause said value of said at least one of a plurality of parameter to substantially match a value of said at least one of a plurality of parameters of said first tie line characteristics.
