This paper introduce a highly verstile and simple data transmission system designed for commercial power distribution lines. The system operates on the DSSS principle but utilizes two independent carrier frequencies each represents polarity of DS MODEM outiputs. At the receiving terminal, outputs of two envelope detectors are directly applied to separate DS correlators before the two components are compared. The recovered signals which represents data and line noise are then compared at comparator. With the noise power greatly rudused at the correlator, the error rate of the data observed at comparator desplays great improvement comparing to the conventional FSK-DS system in which the detector output are compared before the correlator stage. Despite its simplest structure, the prototype MODEM transmitts 2400 bps with the error rate 10 , about 10dB improved compared to conventional FSK system.

In this paper, we used class D amplification circuit proposed to improve the decline of error rate caused by rapidly variable impedance in the Power Line Communication. We manufactured voltage drive circuit and current drive circuit that are driven circuit of power line modem on the present. And with the same power line modem, we made a comparison experiment applying the driver circuit that used class D amplifier proposed in this paper. As a result of Experiment, We showed that it has more superior than other existing drive circuits at the impedance change in the power line communication.

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.

This paper deals a watt-hour meter monitor system with applying a Power Line Communication (PLC) modem and a Data Concentrator Unit (DCU). PLC modem uses the power line, so there is no need to install dedicated wiring. This system makes it possible to monitor the amount of electricity of previous current month metering data, so it can easily apply a PC-management for the electric charges and maintenance with gathering the metering data.

A remote monitoring system was developed to improve inconveniences of manual work such as monitoring street lights by using current sensors, microprocessor and RF communication system. In order to control the street lights on the roads effectively and monitor them in real time, we can attach current sensor to the street lights which monitors Lamp, the broken part and state of the Balast, and the amount of an electric leak precisely we developed a system which makes it possible to transmit the data on monitoring results in breakdown of street lights and Balasts to the central monitoring computer without setting up extra data transmission line. The system we devised can transmit data through Power Line Modem and RF communication using relay method to the central controlling computer without any loss of data.

This paper presents two methods of designing a Broadband Impedance Matching (BIM) circuit for maximizing a power line communication (PLC) equipment (or Modem) signal injection into its load at any power line connection port. This optimal (BIM) circuit design is achieved in two phases: Butterworth gain function and Tchebycheff gain function. According to the comparison of simulation and practical results, the performances of two gain functions on BIM are discussed.

Today many researches are accomplished for power line communication. But It is very dangerous to communicate with devices using power line. Because power line is an candidate to cope with the existing communication channels. So It is need to be measured the properties of power line as communication channels, before successful communication system is possible. In this paper, we re-analysis the characteristics of power line and suggest an implementation technique for the high-data-rate power line communication modem.

W e have developed a power line simulator which is one of the basic tools for the research of the power line communication and its control system. In the developed simulators, we have considered the transfer function of the power line, noises and signal attenuation characteristics. Simulator was made using the matlab tool program. We made the power line modem using the FSK chip(ST7537) and experimentalized to show the efficiency grade of simulator. We have expected that the developed simulators are very useful in the area for the power line communication research and the control system design.

In this paper, we design and implement a high speed power-line communication modem, supported up to the transmission rate of 480kbps in a lower frequency band of under 450kHz. The power-line channel model is discussed in the sense of the lower frequency band, and the transmission technique of OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) is considered to improve the throughput effectively. According to the power-line channel variation, the designed modem can select the modulation mapping between a 16-QAM(Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) or a QPSK(Quadrature Phase Shift Keying). Thus, it makes a sufficient QoS even in a poor channel environments. With a implementation result, we show that it gives a variable transmission rate of 480kbps or 240kbps in the signal bandwidth of $50kHz{\sim}450kHz$.

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.
