PROJECT TITLE :

Automotive Power-Line Communication Channels: Mathematical Characterization and Hardware Emulator

ABSTRACT:

This paper addresses the look of a channel emulator for the info communication along in-vehicle power distribution networks. Power-line communication technology is a promising answer that uses the identical physical bundle of wires supplying energy to the big number of parts unfold among a car, with benefits in terms of budget and weight saving. The communication channel is described by means that of a multipath illustration while the various noise contributions, supported by an obsessive measurement campaign, include impulsive and terribly low-frequency disturbances. The channel emulator is meant on a Virtex-vi FPGA with a target working frequency of two hundred MHz. The proposed emulator has terribly high programmability and is proven to produce superior performance in terms of bandwidth compared to the known state-of-the-art hardware nonautomotive alternatives.
