Abstract

As a wireless connection of sensor systems is not always possible, a modem for powerline communi-cation (PLC) was developed for the wired connection of sensor systems. Especially for retrofitting com-ponents in vehicles, for example, a data connection via the existing cable network is advantageous and no additional new cables need to be installed. For this purpose, a small and cost-effective PLC modem was developed that can be operated with the modulation formats BPSK and DSSS-BPSK in order to transmit sensor data at 19.2kBit/s via cable harnesses. The performance of the PLC modem in terms of channel noise and single tone interference was examined and discussed.
