Abstract

Communication between an upstream point, such as a TV-source headend followed by a fiber optic line, and a number of downstream points, such as coaxial cable connected subscriber locations, is achieved by wavelength or frequency demultiplexing a spectrum of downstream radio-frequency signals with a surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) demultiplexer-multiplexer and distributing the demultiplexed signals to the downstream points, for example through the cables.
