Power Line Communication

In-vehicle power line communication (PLC) holds great promises as an enabler of in-vehicle communication without increasing weight, volume, or cost of the wiring harnesses (Figure). I designed, built, and tested a power line communication interface circuit for vehicular digital communication and collaborated with another team member on measurement of channel characteristics (i.e. transfer function) of a Pontiac Solstice using Vector Network Analyzer (VNA).
