Power Line Communications : Theory and

Power Line Communications will provide the reader with a wide coverage of the major developments within the field. With contributions from some of the most active researchers on PLC, the book brings together a wealth of international experts on specific PLC topics. The first chapter introduces the reader to narrowband and broadband communications, with subsequent chapters on channel characterization and electromagnetic interference. Other chapters include digital transmission techniques with sections on modulation and coding for power line communications, as well as chapters covering protocols, networks and standards through to systems and implementations.
