Patent 10129616 was granted and assigned to Arris on November, 2018 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A radio frequency over glass (RFoG) system may be modified to extend a downstream band. A transimpedance amplifier with a downstream path may be used in the RFoG system in combination with an upstream path having greater than 200 MHz radio frequency (RF) bandwidth to provide the greater than 1.2 GHz downstream bandwidth overlapping with the greater than 200 MHz upstream bandwidth.
