Abstract

A transistorized source power coupler for coupling a power source to a pair of transmission lines. DC power from the power source is conducted by the transistorized source power coupler to the transmission lines. Meanwhile, AC signals on the transmission lines are isolated from the power source by the source power coupler. Consequently, the same pair of transmission lines can be used to supply power to cells of a communications system while also conducting data signals between those cells with minimal effect to the power source.
