Description
Abstract—The low voltage power networks in developing
countries like Tanzania are designed without taking into
consideration their application in data communication. In
order to use them for data communication, powerline channel
models have been developed and analysed in order to
understand the factors that will affect the transmission. In this
paper transfer characteristics of powerline channel from
power users to primary substation have been modeled and
analyzed. Simulation results show that the signal in PLC
environment attenuates more with interconnections, which
needs to be amplified/regenerated within a few meters.
