Abstract

A duplex digital transmitter system is disclosed which permits simultaneous digital signal exchange over a two-wire loop. Two sets are provided at the ends of the loop, each having a three-port lattice adapted to separate the transmitted and received digital signals. The digital signals are encoded using a biphase scheme so that they have a zero D.C. component. Therefore the loop is used simultaneously to transmit D.C. power from one set to the other.
