Power Line Cable Transfer Function for the Broadband Power Line Communication Channel

Abstract

PLC (Power line communications) use the existing power line infrastructure for communication purposes. While the majority of recent contributions have discussed PLC for high data-rate applications like Internet access or multimedia communication serving a relatively small number of users, in this paper presents a novel approach to model the transfer function of electrical power lines for broadband power line communication. The model has been verified with practical measurements conducted on actual power networks.
