  • Abstract
    A digitalSTROM® system is based on concentrators that reside in the distribution board, act as power-meters for the individual distribution circuits and communicate with individual nodes installed within a home over differently modulated up- and downstream channels. This paper presents the advantages of the digitalSTROM® topology, elaborates on the modulation schemes that have been optimized to lend themselves to miniaturized implementation and quantifies the level of interference caused by typical home appliances.
