Design and Research of Channel Circuit Based on Broadband Power Line Carrier

Abstract

In order to effectively improve the anti-attenuation, anti-noise and anti-impedance change capabilities of the low-voltage narrowband power line carrier communication unit, reduce the carrier signal coupling attenuation, and highly fidelity signal power encoded and modulated by the carrier chip, an improved high-speed power line carrier communication transceiver circuit is designed. Using 303.13kHz~357.81kHz as sub-carrier signal frequency can effectively avoid the random noise generated by high-power power electronic equipment and household appliances below 35kHz. At the same time, to prevent the frequency crosstalk of power line carrier products with 270kHz and 421kHz as the center frequency, the Y-coupling capacitor and sixth order Butterworth band-pass filter circuit are used to design the signal receiving and transmitting circuit of the communication unit to isolate unwanted signals. The experimental simulation of the designed circuit is carried out on the circuit simulation software Multisim 12. The results show that the designed power line carrier communication transceiver circuit can effectively control the signal coupling attenuation within 4dB, and the filtering of unwanted signals can also reach 41.7dB, which has good application value.
