Abstract :
A microwave system has been developed to operate at 24 GHz, for the remote monitoring of current in electrical power lines. The microwave radio link parameters are: a maximum distance of 100 meters between transmitter and receiver, + 3 dBm transmitter output power and a receiver noise figure of 12 dB. The measuring characteristics are: a wide instantaneous current range from 5 to 500 A, within a bandwidth up to 1 MHz and power line voltage of 13.8 KV.
