Abstract :
Recently different models have been proposed for analyzing the BPLC systems based on transmission line (TL) theory. In this paper one such BPLC model is validated using laboratory experiments by comparing the channel transfer functions. A good agreement between the BPLC model based on TL theory and experiments is found for channel frequencies up to about 100 MHz.
