Abstract

A transmission system transmits a signal from a transmission terminal to a reception terminal via a pair of transmission lines. The transmission terminal side of the transmission lines is connected to a first resistor having a predetermined resistance value depending on the characteristic impedance of the transmission lines.

Claims (31)

1. A transmission system comprising:

a receiver;

a plurality of sensors; and

a pair of transmission lines that electrically connect the receiver to the plurality of sensors,

wherein the receiver regularly polls the plurality of sensors by outputting a voltage pulse to between the pair of transmission lines as a bit string corresponding to a downward telegraphic message,

each of the plurality of sensors transmits a response to the receiver by outputting a current pulse to between the pair of transmission lines as a bit string corresponding to an upward telegraphic message,

the receiver includes a transmission circuit section that outputs the voltage pulse and receives the current pulse, and a first resistor having a predetermined resistance value depending on a characteristic impedance of the pair of transmission lines,

the first resistor is connected in series between the transmission circuit section and only one of the pair of transmission lines, and

each of the plurality of sensors does not include a resistor having a predetermined resistance value depending on a characteristic impedance of the pair of transmission lines.

2. The transmission system according to claim 1 , wherein

an inductance that bypasses direct-current power is further connected in parallel with the first resistor by the pair of transmission lines.

3. The transmission system according to claim 1 , wherein

the first resistor has a resistance value equal to the characteristic impedance of the pair of transmission lines.

4. The transmission system according to claim 1 , wherein

the first resistor has a resistance value of from 0.2 times to 0.8 times or from 1.5 times to 5.0 times of the characteristic impedance of the pair of transmission lines.

5. A transmission system comprising:

a receiver;

a plurality of sensors; and

a pair of transmission lines that electrically connect the receiver to the plurality of sensors,

wherein the receiver regularly polls the plurality of sensors by outputting a voltage pulse to between the pair of transmission lines as a bit string corresponding to a downward telegraphic message,

each of the plurality of sensors transmits a response to the receiver by outputting a current pulse to between the pair of transmission lines as a bit string corresponding to an upward telegraphic message,

the receiver includes: a transmission circuit section that outputs the voltage pulse and receives the current pulse; two second resistors having a predetermined resistance value depending on a characteristic impedance of the pair of transmission lines; and two inductances that bypass direct-current power,

one of the two second resistors is connected in series between the transmission circuit section and one of the pair of transmission lines,

the other of the two second resistors is connected in series between the transmission circuit section and the other of the pair of transmission lines,

one of the two inductances is connected in parallel with the one of the two second resistors,

the other of the two inductances is connected in parallel with the other of the two second resistors, and

each of the plurality of sensors does not include a resistor having a predetermined resistance value depending on a characteristic impedance of the pair of transmission lines.

6. The transmission system according to claim 5 , wherein

each of the two second resistors has a resistance value of half the characteristic impedance of the pair of transmission lines.

7. The transmission system according to claim 5 , wherein

each of the two second resistors has a resistance value of half the resistance value of from 0.2 times to 0.8 times or from 1.5 times to 5.0 times of the characteristic impedance of the pair of transmission lines.
