Abstract

In this paper an extensive set of measurements, simulations and testing of a commercial modem are performed in an electric vehicle to evaluate the performance of PLC. The noise of the motor drive is measured and characterized in the time and frequency domains. Also, the noise generated by the AC/DC converter is measured and described. The symbol-error-rate performance of a multicarrier communication scheme is analyzed via simulation by employing the above modeled channels and noise.
