Abstract :
A channel model for the residential power circuit used as a carrier for telecommunications signals is presented. This model is based on the results of an extensive measurement campaign executed in the city of Amsterdam, The Netherlands. As a basis for the channel model, the time-variant linear filter model is used. Channel noise is shown to be a summation of four noise types. Figures on channel-input impedance as well as signal attenuation are given. Finally, the phase shift introduced by the channel is considered
