Abstract :
This paper deals with modeling, characterization and optimization of the analog front end (AFE) of a narrow band CENELEC power line communications modem. This study focuses on main lines and modem´s AFE modeling to define analytical formulation of Modem insertion losses and line attenuations as functions of PLC modem coupling circuit´s parameters. Experimental results of defined design review confirmed insertion losses reduction and PLC modem robustness and sensitivity improvement.
