Abstract :
Aim at the range from 500 KHz to 30 MHz low-voltage power line carrier-current communication environment, mostly researched power line channel impedance characteristics, noise characteristics and attenuation characteristics. This paper theoretically analyzes the power line channel noise according to the measured data. The model of power line noise is presented and the simulation of the noise is carried out. In this paper a multipath fading channel model is presented based on the characteristics of low voltage power lines. Obtain the bit error rate (BER) performance of OFDM systems through the low voltage power lines channel noise and multipath fading channel simulation.
