Abstract
Power line communication (PLC) technology is at a
tipping point and may become ubiquitous as a home networking
technology. However, there are concerns regarding RF interference
between PLC networks and other radio operators. It is
imperative that the interference dynamics of PLC systems be fully
understood in advance of any large-scale roll-out. In this work, we
experiment with two interference scenarios: notch-infilling due to
non-linear mixing and mitigation of radiated emissions using RF
chokes. In our controlled test bed environment, we measure RF
emissions from the power line devices in the 1 MHz to 30 MHz
range. Through the results and simulation, we demonstrate that
the effect of non-linear devices may be less of a concern than
initially thought, and that simple methods can be employed to
control local RF interference.
