Research:- Department of Communication Systems. Lancaster University

  • Investigated  the application of Space-Time Diversity and Coding to power line communication channels to optimize channel throughput. This focuses on the investigation of multiple conductors and implementation of smart modem technology based on PLT Multi-conductor techniques with Field programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technology. We are currently providing services to marine industry, and companies associated with the North Sea platforms. One area of focus recently has been within the application of power line Transceivers in order to offer robust, low cost means of communicating over AC or DC power lines using low, medium, or high voltage.

  • Investigated the power-line by series of measurements  and   modeling  channel transfer characteristics. In this environment the channel characteristics can be both time- and frequency-dependent, and also dependent on the location of transmitter and receiver in the specific power line infrastructure. Conclusion of this trial indicated that the power-line channel can in general be described as a random time-varying channel having a frequency-dependent signal-to-noise ratio over the communication bandwidth.
