Multipath mitigation circuit for home network

A filter circuit having a frequency response, the filter circuit comprising:

• a signal path extending from an input to an output, the signal path comprising a conductive path and a ground;
• a pass band filter portion disposed along the signal path between the input and the output, the pass band filter portion configured to pass a first frequency spectrum in a provider bandwidth and attenuate a second frequency spectrum in a home network bandwidth;
• and
• a multipath interference mitigation leg operatively branched from the user-side port of the signal path, the multipath interference mitigation leg configured to decrease multipath distortions by improving a return loss characteristic of the home network bandwidth;
• wherein the frequency response is characterized by an insertion loss characteristic between the input and the output being less than 3 decibels (dB) in the provider bandwidth and more than 20 dB in the home network bandwidth, the frequency response further characterized by a return loss characteristic at the output being more than 10 dB in the provider bandwidth and home network bandwidth.
