Impedance mismatch that degrades signal power transfer and affects communication reliability is a major obstacle for power line communications (PLC). Impedance matching techniques can be designed to effectively compensate for the impedance mismatch between PLC modems and power line networks at a specific frequency or for a given frequency band. In this paper, we discuss the tradeoffs that need to be made when designing an effective impedance matching network. We also make a comprehensive review of previous state-of-the-art PLC impedance matching techniques and provide a useful classification of each technique. Finally, we discuss important issues (concerns) and provide suggestions for research directions deserving more attention. This review provides a useful guideline for researchers and manufacturers to quickly understand impedance matching principles and facilitate the design of an effective impedance matching coupler for PLC applications.

A DC power-line communication (PLC) network for wearable applications is proposed and studied. The DC-PLC network enhances wearability compared to other types of wired networks by requiring minimum amount of wiring. The DC-PLC transceiver is designed based on a low power high bandwidth active inductance circuit, thus not jeopardizing the low power property of the wired solution. The DC-PLC network is implemented in a wearable application and compared to a wireless wearable network by studying and comparing the bit-energy of these networks. The bitenergy study is based on a statistical model of the communication where message size and rate, preamble time and power measurements are included. The DC-PLC network showed shorter latency and lower bit-energy compared to the wireless alternatives when preamble time is kept at reasonable level.

“…As an environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and energy-efficient communication strategy, PLC applications range from smart grids to smart homes. Many notable achievements in regards to alternating current PLC (AC-PLC [1]- [4]) have been made over the past decade. It is now a sophisticated technique for long-distance communication at both low and high voltages.…”

“…The filtering coupler circuit typically consists of a number of capacitors and inductors, which is fabricated by a cascade of an L-C low-pass filter and L-C high-pass filter; their combination results in a band-pass filter (BPF). Authors [9]- [12] designed L-C band-pass matching coupler in the narrowband PLC to reduce cost. However, Authors [9] only designed a BPF circuit for a 50 Ω modem and did not discuss the impedance mismatching between the modem and power line.…”
