Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 通訊工程學系在職專班 === 103 === PLC (Power line Communication) is a communication technology using power line as the transmission medium. The research topic of this thesis is on the design implementation and verification of the Analogy Front End (AFE) for a software-defined PLC platform which is composed of Analogy Front End (AFE) circuit board, Digital Analog Converter (DAC) and Analog Digital Converter (ADC) development board and FPGA board. The effectiveness of the AFE is demonstrated by a transmission of a software-defined OFDM signal, which is derived by referring to the HomePlug AV standard, through the real indoor electric outlet power line. We also measure the indoor PLC channel's response and investigate a particular phenomenon of powerline channel-special noise and channel variation using the composed software-defined PLC platform.
