They reach most of the domiciles and other buildings nowadays, so most of the people have access to it. On the other hand the backbone for the communications networks is not available in all countries especially the developing ones. A high cost and changing the design for the networks may be needed to construct this backbone. If data can be transmitted over the power-line networks, a recognized cost and time save can be achieved. In Egypt, the infrastructure is not always available for constructing a communications network backbone due to the already designed buildings before the need for these backbones. In this paper, we overcome this problem by designing a reliable Power-line Modem that operates safely on the low voltage grid. The modem is based on the Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum technique. It uses the mains zero crossing as an efficient way for the synchronization between the transmitter and the receiver. The Modem takes into account the problems of the Power-line including noise, attenuation and impedance dismatching.展开更多

Both linear chirp signals and combined chirp signals are used in this system to reduce the effect of the cross correlation, and simplify the complexity of the system. The optimal scheme of de- signing both linear chirp signals and combined chirp signals is discussed to minimize the value of the cross correlation and obtain a better system performance. Simulation results show that, compared with the binary orthogonal chirp modulation technique, the M-ary chirp modulation technique based on an optimal chirp signal set has a higher data rate with a reasonable bit-error rate （BER） perform- ance under both additive white gaussian noise （AWGN） channel and indoor wireless channel.展开更多

In this paper, we proposed an improved code-aided technique which can improve the system performance greatly by using the eigenvector sign (EVS) spreading sequence which depends on the statistical characteristics of the interference and the thermal noise.展开更多
