Abstract :
In this paper we use a channel model based on measurements from Costas Assimakopulos, et al. (2003) to test the performance of a coded multicarrier CDMA system over the powerline channel from the secondary transformer coil to the subscriber. We focus on the different coding techniques which show that coding can make the difference under such a hostile medium. The comparison of coding, modulation types and the presence/absence of interleaving is depicted by BER vs. SNR diagrams and complexity tables.
