On modeling power-line communication noise

This article introduces an algorithm to estimate pa- rameters of measured power line noise modeled as the Bernoul li- Gaussian noise. These are important parameters when design ing power line communications systems. Tests with several samp les of noise registered during a measure campaign in the city of Juiz de Fora, MG, were performed and the parameters of these measured noise are obtained. Tests with synthetic noise gen erated according to the Bernoulli model for power line noise are a go od evidence of the algorithm effectiveness.
