Design and Implementation of Broadband PLC Modem

As a result of recent developments, the electrical power supply system is on the way to migrate from a pure energy distribution network to a multipurpose medium delivering energy, voice, and various data services. In particular, Internet access is currently in the focus of the efforts of various research activities. This paper describes a broadband powerline modem over the low-voltage power distribution network. Relying on characterization of broadband powerline communication (BPLC) network, a complete implementation description of broadband PLC modem is given. Firstly, this paper introduces BPLC technologies briefly, then discusses characteristics of BPLC channel, at last gives the design and implementation of broadband PLC modem based on INT51X1
