Abstract

The article presents an analysis of the influence of power line characteristic and power line topology parameters on transfer function. The effects of load impedance, branch length, number of branches, and time and frequency selectivity of terminal impedance are shown in this analysis. The analysis results give power line network parameters which have a significant effect on the transfer function and attenuation. Based on this analysis, a method for managing the power line topology is proposed.
