“…Conversely, as frequency increases, noise PSD of background noise reduces and tends to spectrally flat AWGN. Indeed, the noise PSDs of the noise models tends to coincide at higher frequencies [22], [34]- [36], [39], [41], [42], [55]- [58].…”

Extending the analysis already presented in [1], this paper considers broadband potential of overhead (OV) transmission multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) broadband over power lines (BPL) networks when different noise conditions occur and different well-proven noise models are adopted. The contribution of this paper is two-fold. First, the broadband potential of a great number of indicative OV high-voltage (HV) BPL topologies and of MIMO transmission schemes is studied in terms of appropriate capacity metrics. The relevant numerical results reveal the significant dependence of ΜΙΜΟ capacity metrics on noise conditions. Second, various well-known BPL noise models from the literature are compared on the basis of their achieved OV HV MIMO BPL capacity. Through the careful study of the capacity results of noise models, it is demonstrated that spectrally flat additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) may be comfortably assumed as an efficient noise model in transmission MIMO BPL networks. Also in MIMO BPL networks, the comparative capacity analysis of noise models shows small differences among them in the 3-88MHz frequency range.

“…4(a)-(h) unveil the insidious role of noise in today's and future's transmission BPL networks [22], [34], [56]. In all the cases examined, capacity differences of the order of hundreds of Mbps -even of Gbps in some cases-are observed when disturbed noise environments occur.…”

Abstract:Power line communication technology is used in various applications, from high voltage network to the low voltage network, as it is the only wired communication technology that is comparable with wireless communication network. It works by injecting a modulated carrier wave into the electric cables from one transceiver to another. But still, the noise level and impedance mismatch are still the main concern of this technology, particularly in the low voltage network in residential area. Power line has additive non-white noise and extremely harsh environment for communication. At the same time, there is signal attenuation along the power line caused by the impedance mismatch in the power line network. Even though these problems can be controlled using a band-pass filter and an impedance matching circuit respectively, but the impedances in the power line are time and location variant and it is rather difficult to design a circuit that allows maximum power transfer in the system all the time. Thus in this paper, a new adaptive impedance matching circuits is proposed for narrowband power line communication. This methodology is derived based on the RLC band-pass filter circuit. This concept is designed to achieve simpler configuration and higher matching resolution.

“…In [9], the indoor power line noise was measured from three outlets and the modeling of [5] for indoor power line impulse noise was confirmed. In [10], a mathematically tractable model of narrowband power line noise was introduced based on experimental measurements. With the assumption of Gaussian noise, the cyclostationary features of power line noise were described in close form.…”
