Abstract

The transfer function of PLC (power line communication) channel is studied in this paper. We focus on the impact of various loads connected to the plugs of the power network. A matching method of electrical plugs is presented, to throw off the varying impedance of the different appliances plugged into wall sockets. The devices developed should provide better PLC systems performances.
