Power line noise model appropriate for investigation if channel coding methods

This paper presents an experimental and theoretical research of power line noise performed on overhead power line. High voltage (HV) power line, as a communication media, is a source by itself of different noises characterizing an important signature of this communication media. Investigation of appropriate channel coding techniques by computer simulations requires transfer characteristics of channel and statistical model of noise. In this paper, the computer model of power line noise is presented. A simulation of the noise is carried out in Matlab.
