Abstract

This paper presents an adaptive line coupler to match input impedance of the Power line Communication(PLC) modem between access impedance of the power line. This line coupler provides maximum signal power transmiting capability, high reliability. The structure of this coupler is simple and designed to make a easy and low cost. The proposed line coupler is suitable for Amplitude Shift Keying(ASK) or Phase Shift Keying(PSK) modem. To figure out our models, the analysis of the transmitting features of power line channel is performed in the time domain at the carrier frequency. As a result of this study, we present the values of capacitors in the capacitor bank and adaptive line coupler circuit.
