Deterministic Communication System –ADSL; VDSL;Cable Modems • Unique frequency specification • Characteristic impedance • Minimum noise • Constant bandwidth • Standard architecture • No common mode current and Potential Radiated emission to cause interference Power CommunicationsSystems Research GroupOpenUniversity
PLT System Communication Non-Deterministic • Unique frequency specification • Characteristic impedance • Minimum noise • Constant bandwidth • Standard architecture Power CommunicationsSystems Research GroupOpenUniversity
Leaky cables @1Mhz to 30Mhz • At these frequencies not all the signal is transmitted down the cable-it leaks power • So some of the high frequency signal emanates as electromagnetic radiation • Hence power cables can be considered as linear antennas and • Low efficiency Power CommunicationsSystems Research GroupOpenUniversity
In-House Communications • Limited to inside buildings of all types; • Industrial • Commercial • Residential • Different electrical structures: single and 3 phase :Ring Main & Tree &Branch • wide range of services • Frequency range 1 to 30Mhz to80MHz Power CommunicationsSystems Research GroupOpenUniversity
Key Parameters for Investigation • Investigation of Key parameters of Broadband Power Line Carrier communications • Impedance of the power Line over the frequency range 3KHz to 30MHz • Signal Injection Power: symmetrical and asymmetrical • Conducted current • Common mode current –Potential forRadiated emission from power line Power CommunicationsSystems Research GroupOpenUniversity
Key Parameters forInvestigation(2) • Longitudinal Conversion Loss (LCL) • Regression of signal • K Factor • Noise Floor measurements • Relationship between the Impedance of Line , LCL, with type of devices connected to the line. • Effects of network architecture on radiated emission • Mechanisms for understanding emissions in terms of these parameters Power CommunicationsSystems Research GroupOpenUniversity
Key Parameters for Investigations(3) • Noise floor measurements for PLT , Cable systems and XDSL systems • Inter-modulation products (IMP’s) • Ingress and egress noise • Variation of all these parameters with different frequency ranges Power CommunicationsSystems Research GroupOpenUniversity
Established Communication Services in the 1MHz to 30MHz • Broadcasting Channels • Amateur Radio • Mobile Communications • Distress frequencies • Military communications • Radio astronomy Power CommunicationsSystems Research GroupOpenUniversity
Sources of Interference • Noise caused by impedance mismatch • Impulse noise ingress from electrical appliances • Narrow band ingress from SW broadcast • Attenuation of the network • impedance variations • general interference • poor power quality Power CommunicationsSystems Research GroupOpenUniversity
