摘要
一般居家住宅的低壓電力線網路是一相當便利與低廉的通信媒介。以往應用於電力線網路多為低速率的控制，量測系統。本篇論文中，將針對寬頻電力線通道特性作資料整理、分析與實際量測；並且實現一個電力線通訊系統。我們採用正交分頻多工技術（Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing；OFDM）的架構，並使用德州儀器公司所生產的TMS320C6211 DSP Chip（fixed-point DSP）來實現這個系統，所佔用的頻寬為192 kHz，傳輸速率為96 kbps。

Abstract

Low voltage electrical power distribution networks represent an attractive medium for digital communications. In this thesis we introduce and implement a power line communication system by Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). We implement the power line modem by TI TMS320C6211 DSP. The transceiver runs at the bandwidth 192 kHz, and provides a data rate up to 96 kbps.
