Low amplitude impulsive noise in vehicular power line network

Low amplitude impulsive noise measurements have been carried out in the time domain on a vehicle power line network. These measurements were made on a stationary vehicle and the motor idling. The characteristics of the measured low amplitude pulses were studied in terms of amplitude, frequency, duration and time interval between successive pulses. Stochastic models based on mathematical distribution functions and fitting the experimental distribution of the various pulse characteristics are proposed.
