Abstract
A saturable core reactor (28) is interposed between a subscriber premises (12) and a node (18) in a shared network (10) for reducing the incidence of noise associated with signals passing between the subscriber premises and the node. When combined magnitude of the signals and any noise embodied therein exceeds a prescribed threshold, the saturable core reactor saturates, preventing excessive noise from passing in the network.
Claims7
A method for reducing the incidence of overload in network attributable to excessive noise and/or signals originating at a subscriber premises coupled to the network comprising the step of transmitting signals and any noise originating at the subscriber premises and destined for the network through at least one saturable core reactor that becomes saturated when the combined level of the signals and any noise exceeds a prescribed threshold so that excess noise and signals are blocked by the reactor from reaching the network.
