Abstract

A study of Power Line as communication medium for broadband or narrowband application is performed in the perspective of space time coding. Simulation study to send modulated data on two phases of power line and receive signal between two phases and analyze is performed. Middleton class-A noise is used to model the noise on power line. BCH coding is used for error correction. Recovery of data, when at least one path of the channel is with medium attenuation, when simultaneously the other path of the channel goes worse is verified. The results are found to be in accordance with the principle of space time coding scheme and provide the possibility of utilizing power line as effective means of communication.
