Effects of the MHz Frequency Range Electromagnetic Immunity of the Swept Frequency Pulse Coupled on the kHz Frequency Range G3 Power Line Communication

Abstract

This contribution evaluates the vulnerability of narrowband power line communication in the kHz frequency range through the implementation of frequency swept pulse intentional electromagnetic interference (IEMI) in the MHz frequency range. For this experiment, different types of digital modulation as well as different types of transmission mode are evaluated. The data frame error rate of the transmitter and receiver are compared when a low power frequency-swept pulse IEMI is coupled to the G3 power line communication. Finally, a mitigation plan to manage the risk of intentional EMI in power line communications is recommended.
