(under subclass 24) Coupling systems having a long line with a coupling network at each opposed ends of the long line.
(1) Note. Where the long line is merely a part of a coupling network, and does not link two different coupling networks together, classification is not in this subclass. See subclasses 156+ for this type of delay network, subclasses 50+ for this type of impedance matching network, 202+ for this type of wave filter.
(2) Note. In this subclass are systems having two coupling networks with a long transmission line connected to transmit energy from one network to the other. These systems approach a complete system. For example, a 70 ohm source connected by a network to a 300 ohm line which is coupled by a network to a 150 ohm receiver. At each point of connection there would be a coupling network.
