Abstract
A telephone transmission circuit for connection to telephone line terminals includes a transmitter amplifier, a receiver amplifier and a balancing circuit for suppressing the leakage of the output of the transmitter amplifier to the receiver amplifier, the transmitter amplifier being connected to the line terminals so that a power supplied from the line is effectively used. Good impedance matching between the line and the telephone transmission circuit is achieved by the automatic adjustment of the balancing circuit responsive to the line length between the telephone transmission circuit and an exchange.
Claims3
A telephone transmission circuit for connection to a line having first and second line terminals, said telephone transmission circuit comprising:
- a microphone for providing voice frequency signals;
- a transmitter amplifier means for amplifying the voice frequency signals from said microphone;
- a receiver amplifier means for amplifying voice frequency signals received from said line;
- a serially connected circuit means connected between said first and second line terminals, said circuit means comprising a first resistance, a second resistance and a balancing network for preventing the output from said transmitter amplifier from entering said receiver amplifier;
- a smoothing circuit means for smoothing a voltage supplied from said line, said smoothing circuit comprising a third resistor having one end connected to the connection point of said first and second resistors and a first capacitor connected between said second line terminal and the other end of said third resistor;
- a first line equalization circuit connected in parallel with said first capacitor of said smoothing circuit for varying the input impedance of said transmitter amplifier in accordance with the charge voltage of said first capacitor;
- a second line equalization circuit connected in parallel with said first capacitor for varying the input impedance of said receiver amplifier in accordance with the charge voltage of said first capacitor;
- a constant current circuit;
- said transmitter amplifier and said receiver amplifier each having power source terminals supplied with DC current from said first and second line terminals, said power source terminals of said transmitter amplifier being connected between the connecting point of said first and second resistances and said second line terminal, said power source terminals of said receiver amplifier being connected in parallel with said serially connected circuit means via said constant current circuit, and the input signals of said receiver amplifier being supplied from the connecting point of said second resistance and said balancing network to input terminals of said receiver amplifier, which input terminals of said receiver amplifier are connected in parallel with said second line equalization circuit.
