The Design of Power Line Carrier Modulator and Demodulator
Abstract: The greatest advantage of the power-line network is that it covers a very wide range. Various buildings have power lines access. Different from the common Internet,because of its communication character, the PLC (Power-line communication)is a short-distance correspondence, it suits to the “last mile” communications access. The technology of modulation and demodulation have an effect on the PLC’s transmission speeds, transmission distance and anti-jamming capabilities, The technique is the key to realize Power-line communication.
The design mainly concerns on the content of power line carrier modulator and demodulator, the paper through primarily analyzing the power line channel, puts forward the specific implement proposal which suits to the power-line communication. The article introduces the hardware design of power line carrier modulator and demodulator in detail which is based on FSK modulator mode, the design content including the design of power-line coupling interface ,modem and the controller.
Through analyzing and debugging, the design realizes the related function of power-line Modem, Various technical indicators have reached the initial design tasks .
