Application Research on Power Line Carrier Technology for Space Power and Communication System

Abstract

As the space experiments being more complex, the network seems to occupy too much volume and mass, also difficult to arrange. Power Line Carrier (PLC) communication which has been in application is a way to minimize the cable network, light the system and reduce the cost. In this paper, a power supply and communication network with PLC modules is proposed, and the module is specially designed for space application. Furthermore, by setting up a test system, the significant performance and improved EMC is verified, proving that PLC communication is feasibility for future spacecraft.
