  • Abstract
    In this paper, an overview of a new physical layer specification for power line communications, named Lite-PLC, and simulation and lab test results showing the expected performance of the newly designed PLC modem, are presented. The specification uses OFDM for data transmission and is intended to operate in the low-frequency of 100 - 450 kHz in the ARIB band plan.
