Abstract: A system for using Powerline Communications (PLC) as a means to solve various flat wire limitations. The PLC modem connects to the electrical power line and can communicate with devices on the powerline network. The PLC data is then coupled to the flat wire, which conducts the data to the end device. Encoding/decoding of the PLC data can be done either at the electrical power interface or at the device end of the flat wire.

Abstract: When an audio distribution system is installed, it is normally required to install wiring between the audio source or sources, and all of the speakers that are installed throughout a building or structure. The installation of this wiring is normally time consuming and difficult, and can be a large cost component of the system installation. Therefore, there is a need for an audio distribution system that makes use of, and takes a benefit from, already installed electrical power wiring, or allows a lesser number of wires to be run where new installations are necessary, through the means of upgrading the system to provide uninterrupted power to the powered speakers while maintaining the ability to control lighting fixtures powered through the same wiring infrastructure.

Abstract: Data throughput rate in a power line communications (“PLC”) system is controlled by generating PLC carrier signals in accordance with a PLC signal frame structure containing payload symbols where the payload symbol length is selected based on at least one of a PLC system channel quality and node configuration data. The selected payload symbol length determines the processing operations that a source PLC transceiver performs for generating PLC signals or that a destination PLC transceiver performs for extracting information content from received PLC signals. The payload symbol lengths can be selected to maximize the data throughput rate while maintaining compatibility with prior art PLC system protocols and standards that require a PLC signal frame structure and its payload portion to have fixed, predetermined lengths.

Abstract: It is possible to implement a Power Line Communication (PLC) PHY utilizing a digital direct drive output stage that converts the digital output waveform into an analog signal on the power line through pulse width modulation at a very high frequency. Utilizing PWM circuitry instead of a DAC can reduce the silicon real estate size of the PHY, and the quantization noise of the output signal, as well as improve the input to output efficiency. The power dissipation of the device can also be reduced by the elimination of the linear amplification mode of the output driver stage.

Abstract: Fault detection and power network quality monitoring are performed for a power line network using power line communications (“PLC”) signal transceiving and data processing capabilities. Power line signals are continuously received and processed to obtain signal data representative of power line network operating conditions that are expressed in the received power line signals. The harmonic content and noise signature of the signal data are evaluated with reference to known fault signature data and power line network topology properties for detecting and identifying the location of an existing or anticipated fault in the power line network and assessing power transmission quality of the network.
