Abstract

An output signal to be transmitted via an especially two wire transmission line (A, B), which is composed of a transmission signal and a DC supply voltage, is generated by a data transmission device especially designed in the form of a SLIC circuit. Using a control circuit (5-8), which tracks the DC supply voltage on the output side of the transmission device (1-3) in such a manner that the level of the DC supply voltage does not decrease, it is possible to ensure that both the specified requirements concerning the maximally admissible DC voltage drop as well as the specified requirements concerning the reflection attenuation are met.
