Abstract:
Power line communication apparatuses, which are serially connected with power line. The power line communication apparatus may include a bypass unit to be serially connected to power line, and pass a communication signal that flows along the power line; a coupling circuit to be connected to two ends of the bypass unit, and couple the communication signal to the power line; an analog front end (AFE) unit to transform an input/output analog signal so that the input/output analog signal is transferred to the power line, and transfer the input/output analog signal to the coupling circuit unit; and a controller to transfer the communication signal, which is to be transferred through the power line to the AFE unit.
