Multiconductor transmission line based modeling of Powerline channel

The paper introduces a novel method for modeling powerline channels. The methodology is based on the use of three conductor transmission line. The mutual component of the three conductor line is varied to embrace the effects of multipath and impedance mismatches, without having any prior knowledge about them. In this way, the measured frequency response of the channel is finally reached. The method results in a versatile model that can be used for various studies like electromagnetic compatibility, performance analysis and so on. The paper also suggests various ways of improving the precision of the prescribed method.
