Electromagnetic compatibility in Europe for OFDM based PLC access data transmission in the frequency range 150 kHz to 500 kHz

Abstract

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is a key consideration for the development and operation of Power Line Communication (PLC) systems. Applicable EMC requirements and related standards may change depending on the considered regulatory regions (typically Japan, the United States and Europe have different regulations). This white paper focuses on EMC aspects to be considered for PLC roll-outs in the European market in the frequency range 3 kHz to 500 kHz.
