Method and system for monitoring idle network circuits

A method is provided for monitoring a network that includes providing a path selector that can select between a first input and a second input, where the first input is coupled to a customer premises equipment interface that is operable to receive signals from customer premises equipment and the second input is coupled to a test signal generator that is operable to generate test signals. The method also includes determining whether operating customer premises equipment is coupled to an input of the customer premises equipment interface that is coupled to the first input of the path selector. If not, then an idle state is entered into. While in the idle state, it is determined whether a signal is received from the customer premises equipment interface at the first input of the path selector. The test signal received at the second input of the path selector is selected unless a signal is received from the customer premises equipment interface at the first input. The method also includes communicating the test signal from the path selector to the network.

System and method for providing a configurable inductor less multi-stage low-noise amplifier

In accordance with a particular embodiment of the present invention, an apparatus is offered that includes a configurable feedback low noise amplifier (LNA) connected to a common source connected input transistor to realize a specific value of an input impedance, the input impedance being controlled by transconductance, the overall gain being defined by a global current feedback network. In more specific embodiments, the LNA is used to provide a wide frequency band and a defined input impedance. In other embodiments, the LNA achieves a low noise parameter and low output distortion. Also, the LNA can use a ladder network of grounded switches and floating resistors in order to avoid floating switches in a feedback path. The LNA can increase parametric yield. The LNA can be used to control noise, gain, distortion, and input impedance independently.
