Abstract

Due to the harsh environment of the power line, data transmission is greatly affected by noise, signal attenuation, interference, multiple reflections and varying impedance and loads. The noise channel at the University of Mauritius has been studied and the types of noise have been identified and modeled in Simulink. Results show that the noise with the highest impact on data transmission is impulsive noise. Narrowband noise has the least effect.
