Evaluation of key parameters for determining the efficiency of signal propagation in broadband PLT systems

Abstract

The key considerations for developing and delivering a full international standard for broadband power line communications and other wire-line systems of XDSL and cable modem systems is well overdue. This is due to standards committees throughout the world discussing, determining and evaluating the key conditions responsible for signal propagation along the low voltage distribution cable (LVDN) and considering other parameters and the quality of cables used for this type of communication. This paper gives some insight into the work of the committees the problems they are debating and the way to evaluate cardinal parameters to establish a seamless communication system for wire-line communications systems.
