ETHERNET TRANSCEIVER AND ETHERNET TRANSMISSION METHOD BASED ON COAX NETWORK

摘要

An Ethernet transceiver and an Ethernet transmission method are disclosed. The transceiver is adapted to detect the level amplitude of a received analog signal, adjust an amplification factor adaptively according to the detecting result to make the level amplitude of the received analog signal which has been amplified reach a same output level amplitude, perform an analog-to-digital conversion and a codec process, and transmit the signal to a MAC layer of the Ethernet. The transceiver is further adapted to amplify the level of a signal to be transmitted to a coax network and output the signal. The amplification factor is determined according to a maximum attenuation loss between coaxial terminals. In the present invention, an interaction between an Ethernet access point and a coaxial terminal and an interaction between coaxial terminals are carried out, which makes the CSMA/CD MAC layer of the Ethernet be adopted in an application environment of radio and television coax network.
