Direct current magnetized hybrid transformer

A direct-current magnetized hybrid transformer adapted for being included in a repeater for a telephone line to provide a two-wire to four-wire coupling in the repeater, said line having a determinable line impedance, said transformer comprising a first primary winding, a first pair of secondary windings magnetically coupled to said first primary winding, a second primary winding, a second pair of secondary windings magnetically coupled to said second primary winding, a balancing impedance, the first and second pairs of secondary windings creating a four-wire path, at least one winding from each pair being connected to said balancing impedance said balancing impedance being matched to the line impedance, said first and second primary windings each including two winding parts, each primary winding having a number of turns such that the number of turns of one of said winding parts is in a determined relation to the number of turns of the other of said winding parts, a common connection point between the parts of each said primary winding, a feeding source means connected between the connection points and magnetizing only one of the winding parts of both the first and second primary windings, and a capacitor, the first and second primary windings including respective first terminals connected to said telephone line and respective second terminals connected by said capacitor.
