Performance Comparison of ST7580 Power Line Communication with Signal Wire Technique

This paper represents the performance analysis of power line communication IC using FSK communication. The test has been performed the commercially available ST7580PLM modem and low cost power line modem with signal wire technique over 1km power line which consists of different noises which are generated by switching devices and electrical appliances. In this paper, the performance is calculated by Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) versus Bit error rate (BER).
