The Application and Simulation of OFDM Technology in Power Line Communication

Abstract:

Utilizing power line to transmit information speedily and safely is very important and significant. Whereas, the communication environment and construction of power grid are complex and hostile. The paper introduces the application, common modulation technology—OFDM and noise characteristics of PLC. The paper builds an OFDM input and output system and adds the power line noise into the channel, then compares and analyzes the difference between the OFDM output signals in common channel and PLC channel.
