Advances of Broadband Power Line Communication and its application

Broadband Power Line Communication (BPLC) technology, offers a convenient, efficient and reliable medium for high frequency-data transfer for broadband access, by creating networks within existing infrastructure. As the powerline network is very noisy, complex and varying from place to place, it is very difficult to model the channel. For creating a new efficient power line communication model of the channel, it is necessary to know the characteristic, topology of the low voltage powerline. A review analysis has been given on advances, issues and applications of broadband power line communication in various fields. With this paper, we also offer a low voltage power line channel transfer function with small sets of parameters, by means of a simulation tool in the bandwidth 1-30 MHz The observations presented in the paper are important and useful for an efficient channel design of a BPLC system.
