Definitions
- the invention relates to an arrangement and a method for forming an overall signal from a current signal and a first communication signal, as well as an arrangement and a method for forming a current signal and a first communication signal from an overall signal, and a communication system and a method for transmitting a first overall signal and a second Total signal in a communication system.
- Such devices and arrangements as well as such a communication system are known from [1].
- Such a device has a connection at which an overall electrical signal can be tapped.
- the overall signal has a current signal (carrier frequency signal) and an electrical signal modulated onto the current signal.
- the modulated electrical signal is a communication signal.
- a communication signal is to be understood as an electrical signal which enables transmission of electronic data, for example the transmission of textual data, image data or video data.
- any type of modulation can be used for modulation, e.g. an amplitude modulation, a frequency modulation or a phase modulation.
- the device known from [1] has a coupling element which is coupled to the energy supply network.
- the communication signal is obtained from the overall signal in the coupling element.
- the communication signal is modulated onto the current signal, whereby the overall signal is formed.
- a second connection is provided which is connected to the coupling element.
- the communication signal can be tapped or fed at the second connection, depending on the operating mode of the coupling element.
- a communication signal to be modulated which represents the communication data, is present at the second connection or is supplied to it.
- FIG. 2 shows an energy supply network 201 to which a house 202 is connected.
- a base station 203 known from [3] is connected to the energy supply network 201 via an interface 204.
- the base station 203 is connected to a communication network 206 via a network interface 205.
- the base station 203 has a processor 207 which is connected via a bus 208 to data conversion cards 209 which are also known from [3] and which in turn are connected via coaxial lines.
- gen 210 are connected to the interface 204.
- a medium-voltage / low-voltage transformer element 211 is also provided in the energy supply network 201.
- a medium voltage is further understood to mean a voltage of several kilovolts (KV), usually 10 KV, and a low voltage is a normal operating voltage of approximately 230 V.
- the house 202 is connected to the energy supply network 201 via a house interface 212.
- the house interface 212 is connected to the known device described above, which is designated 213 in FIG.
- a low-voltage signal which is transmitted to power lines 214 of the power supply network 201, is modulated onto the base station 203 by a communication signal, hereinafter referred to as the signal to be modulated.
- the low voltage signal is referred to below as the carrier frequency signal.

- a disadvantage of this scenario is that the coaxial cable 217 must be laid in the house 202 from the device 213 to each computer unit 218, 219, i.e. In the house 202, new lines have to be laid in every room in which a computer is provided in order to enable data communication via the energy supply network 201. This leads to a considerable additional effort in the planning of the house 202 and it also leads to a considerable inflexibility in the planning and furnishing of the house 202.
- the communication signal is modulated onto the current signal in a frequency range of a few MHz, usually in the range between 1 MHz and approximately 8 MHz.
- the limitation of the frequency range is due to the attenuation curve of the transmission medium used. At about 8 MHz, the attenuation of the communication signal is so strong that it is impossible to transmit the communication signal over long distances.
- a separate transmission medium for example a coaxial cable, is used to transmit a signal that requires a higher bandwidth.

It has been recognized that, in particular in the case of a larger house with several residential units within each residential unit, a distance from the respective connection of the residential unit to the power supply network to a computer unit has to be bridged that is sufficiently small so that the damping is not yet so strong is that a transmission of the communication signal would not be possible.
