Abstract Communication system interface circuits for bi-directional transmission of signals between terminal sets, each interface circuit comprising a transformer including first winding means coupled through rectifier means and a low-pass filter to a first terminal set and including second winding means having end terminals coupled through diodes to the output of a high frequency inverter and having a center tap coupled through an inductive impedance to a neutral circuit point, a second terminal set being coupled across the inductive impedance. The first terminal set may be connected to a telephone subset with ringing and bias signals being applied in circuit with the inductive impedance. The inductive impedance includes transistor means controlled by an operational amplifier which is controlled from a resistance-capacitance phase-shift means, the impedance being equivalent to that of an inductance and a series resistance.
A synthetic reactor circuit comprising transistor means, an operational amplifier having an output coupled to said transistor means for controlling conduction therethrough, and resistance-capacitance means responding to the voltage across said transistor means and applying a signal to the non-inverting input of said operational amplifier in phase-displaced relation from said voltage such that the effective impedance presented by said transistor means is a reactive impedance.
