Compared with other communication systems, power line carrier communication channel is more complicated and changeable.Power line carrier communication channel
With frequency selectivity, time variation, with coloured ambient noise, arrowband interference and various impulsive noises, these characteristics are main
It is as caused by the various electrical equipment being connected on power line.For example, European CE(Europe is unified, CONFORMITE
EUROPEENNE)Certification only measures electromagnetic compatibility of the test electrical equipment more than 150 KHzs(EMC)Characteristic, therefore, 150 kilo hertzs
Hereby following noise is very high.Meanwhile, the decay changed with transmission range, electric network composition, channel impedance and frequency is also
The important factor in order of power line carrier communication.In addition, in smart electric grid system, different tissues can provide different answering
With such as advanced measuring system(AMI), grid automation etc., and the required service quality of different services also differs greatly, this
The divided band in power network is accomplished by be realized.Therefore, various electric line communication systems may be operated in same section of electric power
