Abstract

Conventional inductive powerline communications typically use ferrite cores. However, since the recent nanocrystalline cores are expected to perform better, this paper aims to measure the performance of inductive couplers using nanocrystalline cores. To do this, we used inductive powerline communications to observe the communication range when increasing the number of cores from one to five. This experiment shows that we have the best communication performance when we connect 5 cores.
