Abstract

PURPOSE:To detect the disconnection of plural branch transmission lines in a central supervision station by fetching modulation signals which the central supervision station has transmitted in a down direction, transmitting them to a branch transmission lines and providing a function to detect the presence or absence of signals which the repeaters in low-order have transmitted in an up direction in correspondence with said signals at every branch transmission line in respective repeaters. CONSTITUTION:A detector 11 detects the modulation signals from pilot signals to be inputted and it outputs them. The modulation signals are transmitted in the up direction through couplers 8c and 8b. The modulation signals transmitted from a repeater 3 are inputted to a switching part 13 through a coupler 8f and an amplifier 10b. The modulation signals transmitted from repeaters 5 and 6 are inputted to the switching part 13 through directional couplers 9a and 9b. The switching part 13 selects one input in order by the input of a switching control signal 15a, and outputs it to a modulation signal detection part 14 through a band pass filter 10b'. When a branch transmission line 7 is disconnected, the modulation signal is not inputted to a repeater 2. Thus a data processing part 15 detects that the modulation signal is not inputted, generates a telegram that the branch transmission line 7 is disconnected and transmits it to the up direction.

Next, the operation of the CATV repeater with the above configuration will be explained. A central monitoring station 1 monitors repeaters 2 and 3 cascaded via a main transmission line 4 and repeaters 5 and 6 via a branch transmission line T. Then, the amplitude-modulated pilot signal sent in the downstream direction from the central monitoring station 1 is sent to the downstream repeater 3 through the amplifier IQa, coupler 8f, and main transmission line 4, and then sent to the distributor 16.
One-way coupler 9 - sent to repeater 6 via branch transmission line 7, and coupler 8a - bandpass filter 10a°
- sent to the detector 11; Therefore, this detector 1
1 detects a modulated signal from an input pilot signal and outputs it. This modulated signal is always sent out in the upper nine directions through the coupler 8c and the coupler 8b. Then, the modulation signal sent back from the repeater 3 in the upward direction is sent to the coupler 8f.
- Input to the switching section 13 via the amplifier 10b. on the other hand,
Modulated signals sent in the upstream direction from repeaters 5 and 6 are input to switching unit 13 via directional couplers 9a and 9b, respectively. Therefore, the switching section 13 always selects one input in sequence according to the input of the switching control signal 15a outputted from the data processing section 15, and modulates the signal via the bandpass filter 10b' for selecting the modulation signal. The signal is output to the signal detection section 14. Therefore, the modulation signal δ detection unit 14 detects the modulation signal, and the determination result is electronically encoded in the data processing unit 15 and sent to the central monitoring station 1 via the coupler 8b, coupler a, and trunk transmission line 1. Sent.

In such a transmission state, if the branch transmission line 7 is disconnected, no modulated signal is input to the repeater 2 via this branch transmission line T. Therefore, the data processing unit 15 detects that this modulated signal is not input, creates a message indicating that the branch transmission line T is disconnected, and sends it in the upstream direction. Therefore, the central monitoring station 1 can know the failure status by receiving this message and analyzing the contents.

Further, the CATV service signal sent in the upstream direction through all of the branch destination repeaters 5 and 6 passes through the coupler 8e and the amplifier 10c, and the modulation component is removed by the wave remover j2b, and then the signal is sent to the coupler 8e and the repeater 6. Input 8dK. Further, signals sent in the upstream direction via the branch transmission line T and the main transmission line 4 are sent to the upper level via the coupler 8d, coupler 80a, and coupler 8b.

As mentioned above, the central monitoring station captures the amplitude-modulated pilot signal sent in the downstream direction and sends it to the branch transmission line, and the repeater directly below the branch transmission line transmits the amplitude-modulated pilot signal in the upstream direction in response to this pilot signal. By providing each repeater with a function of sequentially detecting the presence or absence of the transmitted modulated signal for each branch transmission line, the central monitoring station can detect the disconnection of multiple branch transmission lines.
