AC behavior
The AC path simplified formulas, that are valid
when Il/50’ is equal to Il/50, are the following :
Two wire impedance
The impedance presented to the two wire by
the SLIC including the protection resistors RP
and defined as Zs is equal to :
Zs = ZAC/12.5 + 2RP
i.e. with ZAC = 6250 W and Rp = 50 W
Zs = 600 W
Two wire to four wire gain
The transmission gain , Gtx, of the SLIC is
equal to :
GTX = Vtx / Vl
GTX = 0.25 * (RPC + ZAC) / (25RP + ZAC)
using RPC = 25RP , as recommended to
compensate the protection resistor RP,
GTX = 0.25 (-12 dB)
Four wire to two wire gain
The receiver gain , Grx, of the SLIC is equal to:
GRX = Vl / Vrx
GRX = 50Zl / (ZAC +12.5(Zl + 2RP))
using ZAC = 12.5(Zs - 2RP) and assuming
Zl = Zs we have the following gain:
GRX = 2 (+6 dB)
Hybrid function
The transybrid loss, Thl, is equal to:
Thl = V
tx
/ V
rx
Thl = Z

using Z
AC
= 12.5(Z
S

RP
) and R
PC
= 25R
P
we have the following relation:
Thl = Z
B
/ (Z
A
+ Z
B
) - Z
l
/ (Z
l
+ Z
s
)
To maximize the hybrid attenuation the imped-
ance must be matched, Z
A
/ Z
B
= Z
S
/ Z
l
, to
guarantee Thl = 0.
From the above relation it is evident that if Z
s
is
equal to the Z
l
in Thl test the impedance Z
A
and
Z
B
can be substituted by two equal resistors.
