Automatic Test Bench for Selected Transmission Parameters of Power Line Conductors
Abstract
This paper presents automatic test bench used for measurement of selected high frequency parameters of a power copper line. The aim is fast estimation of line behavior in context of Power Line Communication (PLC). The hardware interface uses sinusoidal waveform generator, digital oscilloscope and a PC-class computer. The software interface created in LabView environment performs signal processing and data presentation.References
