Abstract
When a CATV signal supplied from a CATV center station is distributed to be lead out to a television tuner, an RF connector is provided on a circuit board of an analog signal processing section, and is configured to lead out the CATV signal by means of this RF connector. In this manner, a distribution output does not pass through a circuit board of a digital signal processing section. Therefore, a high quality signal can be distributed and outputted without being adversely affected by a digital signal.
Claims11
A cable modem module device comprising:
- a first connector configured to be connected to a center station via a cable;
- an analog signal processing section which has a first circuit board having packaged thereon a circuit configuring a transmission/receiving section configured to receive a high frequency signal supplied from the center station via the first connector and send out the high frequency signal to the center station via the first connector, a distributor section configured to distribute the high frequency signal received by the transmission/receiving section, and a frequency converter section configured to convert a frequency of the high frequency signal distributed by the distributor section, respectively;
- a first shield section configured to shield the analog signal processing section in an electromagnetic manner;
- a digital signal processing section which has a second circuit board having packaged thereon a circuit configuring transmission/receiving processing sections configured to carry out transmission and receiving processing between an external device and a modulation/demodulation processing section configured to process a signal outputted from the analog signal processing section and output the processed signal to the external device via the transmission/receiving processing sections and process the signal from the external device and output the processed signal to the transmission/receiving section to be lead out from the first connector, respectively, and having packaged thereon the analog signal processing section;
- a second shield section configured to shield the digital signal processing section and the analog signal processing section shielded with the first shield section in an electromagnetic manner;
- and
- a second connector configured to be provided on the first circuit board without being covered with the first shield section and the second shield section in order to lead out the high frequency signal distributed by the distributor section to the outside.
