Abstract

This study discusses a measurement campaign carried out over medium-voltage distribution networks, covering the frequency band 100-500 kHz. From the obtained data set, magnitude of channel frequency responses, average channel attenuation, additive noise power spectral density, and achievable data rate are investigated. A numerical analysis shows that the magnitude of the channel frequency response presents a flat behavior in the analyzed frequency band. Also, the measured channels can achieve data rates over 5~Mbps.
