Powerline Communication Hardware

Abstract

In today’s vehicle industry, the demand of electronics devices that can communicate with each other is increasing. The increasing demand of electronics is due to more and more automatic control systems. This leads to an increase in the amount of information needed to be sent and the speed of the information needs to increase which in turn leads to that the amount of cables must also increase. An increase of cables is undesirable. To show this problem we intend to construct a communications system that sends all it is information on the existing dc-powered distribution grid. With this solution the amount of cables needed, will reduce. Our system will be based on BPSK/QPSK technology and our focus will be on doing as much as possible with only hardware as we will not discuss any software in this project.
