Abstract

In this paper, the household AC power line network is characterized for the low bit rate power line communication (PLC) in the frequency range from 10kHz to 450kHz. Various types of electric apparatus and the power lines constitute the network topology, and the PLC channel transfer function and the channel impedance are derived based on the constructed network topology. The channel characteristics derived with the lumped circuit model and the distributed circuit model are compared using the computer simulations. The effect of the wave reflection and signal distortions are also investigated.
