Abstract
Power utility companies have suffered revenue losses due to
uncollected bills and energy tampering for many years. The
use of remote monitoring system to overcome the problem
using powerline communication has been identified as a
solution. This needs transceiver capable of communicating
data through powerline channel. In this paper we present
simulated results of BPSK (DSSS) transceiver for energy
metering based on powerline channel as media for
communication. The choice of spread spectrum BPSK
modulation scheme is based on its robustness and its ability
to spread signal into wide band to protect jamming and
interference. The performance of the designed transceiver
and selection of suitable parameter is verified using matlab
simulation.
