- Title
An Alternative Approach in Power Line Communication Channel Modelling.

- Abstract
In this paper, we present the measurement methodology and results for a low voltage Power line Communications (PLC) network under different configurations. Based on the measurements, a correlation of the channel transfer characteristics to the network topology is established and a deterministic model based on two-wire transmission line theory for transverse electromagnetic (TEM) wave propagation is proposed. The channel frequency response in frequency range of 1-30MHz is determined, where the model results agree well with the measurements.
