Coverage and performance of powerline modems

Gigle (2006-10)

Research Engineer: Steve Collins
Sponsor: Gigle
Academic Supervision: Dr Robert Henderson and Dr David Renshaw, University of Edinburgh
Industrial Supervision: Jed Hurwitz and Roger Monteith

This project proposal will investigate ways and methods of maximising the coverage and performance of powerline modems. Three areas of research will be addressed:

  1. Optimising coupling and associated interface circuitry
  2. Powerline network modeling and understanding of topologies and characteristics
  3. Exploiting MESH/Ad-hoc techniques to maximize coverage

Each area of research will involve a year of full-time study, carried out at Gigle’s offices in Edinburgh.
