• Resumen

  • Narrowband Power Line Communication (NB PLC) technologies exploit the existing Low Voltage (LV) distribution grid for carrying data signals, covering the 3 500 kHz frequency band. Although it offers several advantages over other wired or wireless alternatives, the frequency and time dependent transmission medium can jeopardize the proper performance of NB PLC systems. This Doctoral Thesis aims to address two main objectives. First, characterize the electrical grid as a communication channel in terms of the Non Intentional Emissions (NIEs), the grid access impedance, and the attenuation in the 9 500 kHz frequency band and, second, evaluate NB PLC technologies according to PRIME v1.4 standard under different channel conditions.
