Abstract
this paper presents the influencing of load
impedance, line length and branches on the performance of
medium voltage power line communication (PLC) network. The
power line network topology adopted here is similar to that of the
system in Tanzania. Different investigation with regard to
network load impedances, direct line length (from transmitter to
receiver), branched line length and number of branches has been
investigated. From the frequency response of the transfer
function (ratio of the received and transmitted signal), it is seen
that position of notches and peaks in the magnitude responses are
largely affected in terms of attenuation and dispersion by the
above said network parameters/configuration. The observations
presented in the paper could be helpful in suitable design of the
PLC systems for a better data transfer and system performance.
