Power to drive the ringer in the handset is coupled to the two-wire drop through a pair of back-to-back (decoupling) diodes that are connected to the neutral terminal of the converter and relay contacts that are switched at the central office ringing frequency between +80 volt and -80 volt DC output lines of the converter. The VF hybrid is decoupled from the two-wire drop by a third diode during ringing. The converter is decoupled from the drop circuit by the back-toback diodes when voice signals are on the drop lines. Positive ring trip is provided during a ringing cycle by sensing the current transient produced in the drop when the associated subscriber carrier handset goes off hook in order to turn off the converter for a prescribed time interval to enable establishment of loop current and completion of ring trip.,下面是Ringer power generator circuit for subscriber carrier station terminal专利的具体信息内容。
