Electronic feeding bridge

An electronic circuit for supplying electrical power from a d.c. power source to a subscriber's telephone line comprising:

• a first feeding bridge having a high a.c. input impedance and low a.c. output impedance, including a first pair of complimentary transistors having their bases connected by a first capacitor, the input terminals of said bridge connected each to a terminal of said d.c. power source, and said terminals being common to the collector and to the resistor between base and collector of each transistor of said complimentary pair of transistors;
• a second feeding bridge having a low a.c. input impedance and a high a.c. output impedance including a second pair of complimentary transistors having their bases connected by second capacitor, the output terminals of said bridge connected each to a wire of said subscriber's line, are common to the collector and to the resistor between base and collector of each transistor of said second complimentary pair of transistors, and
• the output of said first pair of complimentary transistors being connected to the input of said second pair of complimentary transistors by resistive coupling between the corresponding emitters, whereby
• the combination of said first and second feeding bridge provides high impedance to a.c. signals originating in said d.c. power source and on said subscriber line, to isolate the flow of a.c. signals between said d.c. power source and said subscriber's line and between said subscriber's line and said d.c. power source.
