New Coupling Schemes for Distribution Broadband Over Power Lines (BPL) Networks
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research B, Vol. 71, 39-54, 2016
Abstract
This paper considers the broadband performance of distribution broadband over power lines (BPL) networks when a new re ned theoretical coupling scheme computation module (CS2 module) is applied. The broadband performance of distribution BPL networks is investigated in terms of their channel attenuation and capacity in the 3-88MHz frequency range, which is the typical operating frequency band of BPL technology. The analysis and relevant numerical results outline the important attenuation and capacity improvement of distribution BPL networks when CS2 module is applied.
