A B S T R A C T IMPROVED LONGITUDINAL BALANCE ARRANGEMENTS FOR TWO-TO-FOUR TELECOMMUNICATION LINE CIRCUITS A conventional interface for 2-wire telephone lines to a digital switch includes line current feed resistors and a bridge circuit where the line impedance is compared with a compromise balance network. The accuracy of the balance determines the proportion of the signal received on the receive pair being retransmitted in the transmit direction. The ratio of these signals is known as the Trans-Hybrid loss and should be as high as possible for good quality speech. In practice the telephone line impedance increases with length as also does the DC resistance of the line and thus the line current, assuming a constant voltage source. It is proposed that the line current feed resistors be formed on a common substrate using well-established film deposition techniques and the balance resistor be formed on the same substrate using a material having a negative temperature coefficient. Thus on short lines the dissipation in the line feed resistors is high, raising the temperature of the substrate, thus reducing the value of the balance resistor and hence improving the balance.
