Abstract
A hybrid circuit models a plurality of attributes of a communication system including a subscriber line coupled to a line interface circuit. The plurality of attributes includes subscriber line impedance, and impedance of a coupling transformer. The attributes are based on other factors, such as whether or not bridge taps exist at or near the line interface circuit on the subscriber line. The plurality of attributes are modeled by a specific arrangement of resistive and capacitive elements to substantially duplicate the collective transformative effects of the attributes on a transmission signal being sent out on the subscriber line. The transmission signal is transformed and provided to an output, where it is subtracted from a composite signal representing a combination of the actual transformed transmission signal and a receive signal. The subtraction yields an isolated receive signal, which is later processed to recover the full receive signal.
