Abstract

Power line communication (PLC) system is evolving as a ubiquitous communication system for high speed broadband data communication. Multicarrier DS-CDMA (MC-DS-CDMA) technique is an attractive technique in achieving high data-rate transmission in wireless communication. In this paper, analytical approach is developed to combine the MC-DS-CDMA technology with the features and characteristics of a PLC system. To find the effectiveness of MC-DS-CDMA system in a power line channel, a system model is proposed for high speed data communication through a power line channel using the DS-CDMA with multicarrier orthogonal FDM (OFDM) technique. Analysis is carried out by considering the combined effect of power line impulsive noise, channel transfer function, effect of load impedances and the number of branches in a PLC network. Expressions of signal to interference and noise ratio and bit error rate (BER) at output of CDMA receiver are developed considering the above limitations.
