Powerline communication is the data signal which is modulated by carrier frequency through the installed powerline at in-home or office is transmitted and received signals are separated into data signal with using band-pass filter which cent-frequency is carrier frequency. The home gateway, an equipment which works as an gateway for ubiquitous home network, relays all functions of a home network. The home gateway must always be connected in order to provide seamless services. However it gives unfavorable power consumption. Therefore the needs for working in maximum power saving mode while there is no data traffic and for invoking to the normal function when it is necessary. So, in this paper we survey the development of low power PLC modem monitoring of power consumption and breaking abnormal power in the home Network.

전력선 통신(Power Line Communication)은 최근 전력선을 이용한 통신기술의 발달과 더불어 세계적으로 관심도가 높아지고 연구 개발 및 자본 투자가 활발히 진행되고 있으며, 안정적인 네트워크를 구성하기 위해서는 고주파 전력선 통신 신호를 차단하는 블로킹 필터가 반드시 적용되어야 한다. 전력선 통신용 블로킹 필터는 광대역의 주파수 특성과 높은 신호감쇄 특성 및 대전류 특성이 요구되며, 이러한 특성을 구현하기 위해서는 블로킹 필터의 핵심부품인 자심재료의 고투자율 및 대전류화가 이루어져야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 우수한 전 자기적 특성이 균일하게 유지되고, 전력선에 흐르는 대전류에 의한 자심재료의 포화가 발생하지 않도륵 새로운 자심 재료를 설계하여, 전력선 통신을 적용한 홈 네트워크 구축의 핵심 부품인 광대역 블로킹 필터를 개발하고자 하였다. 2350과 0.3 T의 투자율과 포화자속 밀도를 갖는 EI 형상의 자심재료를 해석모델로 설정하고 다중 에어 갭의 위치에 따른 전류와 자속밀도 변화를 유한요소 해석법으로 분석한 결과 자심재료의 대전류 특성에 지배적인 영향을 미치는 에어 캡의 삽입 위치를 알 수 있었고, 새로운 해석 모델인 I 형상의 로드(ROD) 코어에 대해 수치해석을 수행하여, 100A의 통전 전류에서도 자기적으로 포화되지 않고 인덕턴스의 정밀 제어가 가능하고, 특성의 신뢰성과 대전류에 대한 안정성을 증가시킬 수 있는 인덕터를 설계하였다. 또한 수동소자를 이용한 LC 공진회로를 기본 구성으로 하고, 주파수 대역, 신호 감쇄율과 대전류 특성, 상용화를 고려하여 블로킹 필터 회로를 설계하였으며, 유한요소해석법을 적용한 전자장 모의해석을 통하여 최소의 크기를 갖는 I 형상의 자심재료에 $6{\Phi}$의 에나멜 동선을 6.5턴, 6턴 권선하여 2.5, $2.15\;{\mu}H$의 인덕턴스를 갖는 직렬 인덕터를 구현하였고 블로킹 필터를 구성하였다. 주파수에 따른 신호감쇄 특성을 5 Hz~1 MHz의 주파수 범위에서 측정한 결과 약 490 kHz~450 kHz의 주파수 대역에서 -70dB의 신호감쇄 특성을 나타냈다. 본 연구를 통해 개발된 100A급 광대역 블로킹 필터가 적용되어 상용화 될 수 있을 것으로 판단되며, 또한 모뎀 통신 주파수 대역에서 -70dB 이상의 높은 감쇄 특성을 갖기 때문에 신호차단 특성이 보다 우수할 것으로 사료된다.

More than 30% of energy in Korea was spent in lighting part and then the consumption level and $CO_2$ emission will be increase from now. In this like situation, control-system construction for street-lamp of a smart grid-based that it has important meaning. Nowadays as a result, as an trying to utilize using Power-line-network communication modem and application a terminal in industrial fields, in this paper, we are want to implement the Power-line-network communication control system of PC-based. Therefore it will be use varied communication test-equipment and tools through the system. For experimentation, using the MODEM was able to use Planet production of based on the ZIC protocol and then the application program use the LabView. The result is primarily focused on equipments control by the PLC, and that we are able to perform each test with PLC equipment for experiment it.

Recently, there a lot of activities on the researches that implement many kinds of control system using power lines. To implement that, it is desirable to use hybrid PSK model because it takes advantage of PSK and DPSK which has a low-bit-error rate. In this parer, we implement the transmitter of this model. Because the power line is not designed for the data communication, we separated the signal generator circuit and the signal loading circuit so that minimized noises from outside. Also, to make it easy on the experiments, most of process are performed by software. As a result, transmitting a high frequency signal on the power line made no effects on the electrical devices.

Up today, nationally published research results on the methods used in HA modems have studied and shown the major methods; the ASK method and the DS/SS method. In this paper, we applied the DPSK reception method on the PSK method so that solved the acquisition and tracking problem of the signal synchronization which is the defect of PSK. Also, it has been designed to fit in the CISRP and CENELEC specification so that make sure of no effects on other part of the system.

The design of coupling and rectifying circuits for the maritime VHF digital modem is investigated in this paper. To monitor the transmitting power of the modem, a directional coupler which is used to extract a small fraction of the transmitter signal power, and a rectifying circuit which make DC voltage proportional to the coupled rf power are designed and fabricated. The parallel-coupled line coupler with directivity of above 25 dB at 160 MHz bands is designed and it is shown that the output voltage of the rectifying circuit is linearly changing from 0.85 V to 1.6 V when the transmitting power of the modem is varying from 1 W to 25 W. The proposed coupler and rectifying circuits are expected to be suitable for maritime VHF digital modem.

In this paper, we developed remote dimming control system of electronic ballast for 400W metal halide lamp. This ballast could limit ignition current and soft start-up technique by the inverter with LCsCp resonance tank. The dimming circuit can dim from 400W to 200W by varying of the inverter switching frequency. The PLM consists of coupling circuit, BPF(Band-Pass Filter), FSK(Frequency Shift Keying) Modem and ${\mu}$-controller(Micro Controller). By coupling electronic ballast with PLM, the system that able to dimming the lamp through PLM is demonstrated by experimental results.

Chirp spread spectrum method using both time and frequency component is fit to time varying channel such as powerline channel. The used chirp symbol based on the CEBus standard is the unit symbol which sweeps from 100kHz to 380kHz over a 25㎲. To evaluate the performance of between Chirp-SS and DSSS, we measured the bit error rate under Gaussian channel. Simulation result is shown that Chirp-SS has a about 3[dB] gain of SNR than DSSS. To verify the performance of implemented modem, it is made up the powerline channel environment. After adding several noises to it, we examined the receiving status of modem. The implemented modem is able to receive the signal over the powerline channel with having several noises and capacitive loads.
