In this paper, we studied the emissive electric field due to the communication signal and the noise in medium voltage power-line. There are many types of conductive noise in power-line channel, which gives rise to radiation. And if the DMT carrier signal was excited, the current by this term was added to the current by noise and, generate radiation. We calculated input impedance by means of signal input network model of medium voltage power-line channel for calculating these currents. We calculated currents by input impedance and, calculated the emissive electric field by this calculated currents. From the measurement results, we knew that the measured results are very similar to the calculated results and if the input signal power level was higher than -40 dBm, the emissive electric field exceeds FCC radiation limit level 69.5 dB$\mu$V/m.

Power line communication (PLC) is one of the major communication technologies in smart grid since it combines good communication capability with easy and simple deployment. As a power network can be modeled as a graph, we propose a vertex coloring based slot reuse scheduling in the time division multiple access (TDMA) period for PLCs. Our objective is to minimize the number of assigned time slots, while satisfying the quality of service (QoS) requirement of each station. Since the scheduling problem is NP-hard, we propose an efficient heuristic scheduling, which consists of repeated vertex coloring and slot reuse improvement algorithms. The simulation results confirm that the proposed algorithm significantly reduces the total number of time slots.

The conventional fluorescent lamp dimming system using an another control line is complex and will increased the cost. Therefore, many studies have focused on the wireless communication, but it is not fit for dimming system because of the interference generated by the infra-red light of lamp or switching noises in ballast. So, we applied the power line communication on the dimming system and we proposed a new coupling circuit using the voltage controlled impedance convertor for improving the performance of the FH/SS PLC modem. The performance for the proposed modem is evaluted by the BER.

One of the major problems for accurate channel estimation in power line communication systems is impulsive noise. Traditional channel estimation algorithms are based on the assumption of Gaussian noise, or the need to locate the positions of impulsive noise. The algorithms may lose optimality when impulsive noise exists in the channel, or if the location estimation of impulsive noise is inaccurate. In the present paper, an effective channel estimation algorithm based on a robust cost function is proposed to mitigate impulsive noise. The proposed method can provide a closed-form solution, and the application of robust estimation theory enables the proposed method to be free from localization of impulsive noise and thus can guarantee that the proposed method has better performance. Simulations verified the proposed algorithm.

In this paper, we have represented basic experiment results for the application of electric vehicle powerline communication using an induction type coupler. The coupler was fabricated using nano-crystalline alloy and it was applied to the charging system of electric vehicles to measure the communication performance. Experimental results showed a channel bandwidth over 48 Mbps.

In this paper, an analytic transfer channel modeling function by impulse signal propagation effects in indoor power-line network are analysed. The modeled channel parameters of power line channel including background noise is applied to the OFDM system and we analysis BER for QPSK and 16-QAM modulation signals with simulation. By the representation of gain for OFDM modulation, we can estimate the characteristic parameters of OFDM in Broadband power line communication.

This paper presents a vision based tire mold inspection system where mold defects are inspected and the sizes of specific parts of the mold are measured. There are a lot of challenging issues as letters and pictures of intaglio are engraved on a bright surface of the tire mold. To solve the issues, we carefully selected a line-scan camera and a line light. In addition, we used PLC to control the mechanical parts. The developed system provides inspection of misspelled and deformed letters as well as a variety of the functions such as size measurement of engraved regions and inspection report file creation.

In this paper the performance of communication system in the electrical power line using error correcting codes is analysed. The BCH codes and interleaved code are to be used for correcting burst and random errors in the power line channels. The data rate of 2400 bps and the carrier frequency of 12KHz are assumed. Actual power line noise is recorded and simulated in the BPSK PLC system model.

본 논문은 고속 전력선 통신을 위한 기댐으로 주파수 범위 0∼30MHz에서 BER 개선을 목적으로 DMT 방식을 실험하였다. 송신단에서 길쌈 부호화 방법을 사용했고, 수신단에서는 비터비 알고리즘을 이용해서 복호화 하였으며, 프레임 동기를 위해서 cyclic prefix를 사용하였다. 전력선 채널 특성을 고려하여 거리에 따른 채널 모의실험을 통해서, 코헤어런트 신호를 분석한 결과에 의해 BER을 우수하게 전송시키는 변조 방식을 분석함으로써 전력선상에서 DMT 특성을 이론적으로 분석하여 정보 전달 범위의 효과를 높일 수 있는 방안을 제시하였다.
