Basic terms

Absolute power level L [dBm]

The absolute power level L defines by how many dB a signal strength Px is greater or less than
the reference power P0 = 1 mW:

Px
L = 10 log ------ [dBm]
1 mW

Absolute voltage level Lu [dBu]

The absolute voltage level Lu defines by how many dB a signal voltage Ux is greater or less than
the reference voltage U0 = 775 mV:

Ux
Lu = 20 log ------- [dBu]
775 mV

ABB Power System Communications


ETL OVERVIEW Power Line Carrier ETL Family Training Program

Basic terms
Conversion to another system impedance

If the voltage level is measured at a correctly terminated point of the system and referred to
600 Ohm, the value of Lu is the same as the power level L. The value must be converted as
follows for other impedances Z:

600 Ohm
Lu [dBu] = L [dBm] - 10 log --------
Z [Ohm]

Example: The power level at the 75 Ohm RF O/P of a PLC equipment is given as 40 dBm. What is
the voltage level Lu?

600 Ohm
Lu = 40 dBm - 10 log -------- = 31 dBu
75 Ohm

Modern power measuring instruments permit the reference impedance to be set and the level
referred to 600 Ohm can be directly read from them.

ABB Power System Communications


ETL OVERVIEW Power Line Carrier ETL Family Training Program

Basic terms

Relative level Lrel [dBr]

The relative level Lrel is used, in order to define the performance of a communications system
regardless of channel loading.

The dBr value defines the magnitude of the difference in level with respect to the (virtual)
reference point (0dBr).

Previously the two-wire I/P was taken as the reference point in telephony systems, which corre-
sponds to the I/P of the AF hybrid in a PLC system. As with the dBm value, the relative system
level (dBr) is equivalent to a power level.

Absolute signal level Lo [dBmo]

In order to compare signal in relation to acommon base level they are defined in relation to
asystem ref. Point with a relative level of 0dBr.

SUBSCRIBER SIDE O4LD AT THIS END DETECTS IT AND SIMILAR RING RHYTHM IS SUPERIMPOSED

IT DETECTS THE LOOP CONDITION AND PASS ON THE INFORMATION OVER M CHANNEL TO THE
OTHER END. HERE THE PAX SIDE O4LD RECEIVES IT OVER E WIRE AND OFFERS LOOP CONDITION
TO THE PAX. PAX STOPS APPLYING RINGING VOLTAGE AND THE SPEECH PATH IS MADE
THROUGH. WHEN SUBSCRIBER DIALS THE DIALLING PULSES ARE CONVEYED TO THE PAX SIDE
VIA THE M-E CHANNEL AND IT OFFERS CLOSED LOOPS TO PAX ACCORDINGLY.
IN HOT LINE CONNECTION BOTH SIDES O4LD ARE SIMILAR. WHEN A SUBSCRIBER LIFTS ITS
HANDSET, LOCAL O4LD DETECTS CLOSED LOOP AND THE OPPOSITE END OVER M WIRE THE
CLOSED LOOP CONDITION IS INFORMED. AT OPPOSITE END RINGING VOLTAGE IS APPLIED TO THE

THE INPUT COMING FROM P4LB IS FIRST FILTERED FOR 16.3KHZ TO 19.85KHZ; PASSED ON TO
MIXER WHICH MIXES WITH 2ND IF( 640KHZ FOR 1/3 CHL AND 636 KHZ FOR 2/4 CHL). THE O/P
(624-620KHZ FOR 1/3 CHL &620-61KHZ FOR 2/4 CHL) IS FILTERED BY LOW PASS FREQUENCY
AND BALANCED O/P IS PASSED TO NEXT SECTION.

THE FRE. 640KHZ/160KHZ REQD FOR 1/3 CHL IS DERIVED FROM 7.68MHZ SIGNAL FROM P4LG.
THE FRE. 636KHZ/156KHZ REQD FOR 2/4 CHL IS DERIVED FROM 1272KHZ /312KHZ SIGNAL
FROM P4LI.
SELCTION OF IF2 IS CONTROLLED BY V9LK CHANNEL LINK OF 2/4TH CHANNEL.

THE SIGNAL FROM P4LD(P4LE) IS IN THE RANGE 144-140KHZ(140-136KHZ) . THEY ARE FIRST
DEMODULTED WITH 160KHZ(156KHZ); FILTERD IN THE BAND 16.3KHZ TO 19.85KHZ AND THEN
PASSED ON TO AGC AMPLIFIER. THIS FILTER OFFERS MAIN SELECTIVITY OF RECEIVER.THE AGC

P4LF: TX RF CONVERTOR :

THE INPUTS COMING FROM P4LC OF FIRST(624-620KHZ) AND SECOND(620-616KHZ)


CHANNELS ARE FIRST SUMMED IN A SUMMATION AMPLIFIER ;FILTERED FOR RANGE 616-
624KHZ AND GAIN ADJUSTED.
LATER THEY ARE MODULATED WITH TXFC AND FILTERD OUT BY A LOWPASS FILTER OF
500KHZ. THE TXFC IS fTXCHANNEL + 624KHZ FOR 1&2 CHANNELS
AND FOR 3&4 TH CHANNELS IT IS fTXCHANNEL + 632KHZ .
THE FILTERED OUTPUT IS FED TO GAIN ADJUSTMENT UNIT WHOSE SETTING IS DONE WITH
SWITCH S1. THE SETTING IOF S1 IS DONE DEPENDING UPON INPUT LOADING. AN
ADDITIONAL TRIMMER IS ALSO PROVIDED FOR ALLOWINGCHANGES DUE TO HYBRID
/TRANSMIT FILTER.
THE TXFC IS SET IN THE P4LG.THE P4LF RECEIVES 2TXFC FROM P4LG. IT IS FILTERD AND
PASSED TO P4LA FOR EVALUTION AND ALSO TO HYBRID THROUGH SWITCH. WHEN THE
LOCAL LOOP MODULE P3LK IS INSERTED IN PLACE OF P3LA/B IT IS EVALUATED IN P4LA
AND THE SWICH IS CLOSED SO THAT P3LK RECEIVES THE TRANSMITTER FREQUENCY.

Channel 2:The calculation of S(W2) is the same as for S(W1), but with the channel 2 signal allocation.
2) Setting on P4LF: S
S = S(W) - 0.5
3) Transmitter test tone level at the RF O/P: POWER T = L PEP - 20*log S(W) (dBm)
where: LPEP(dBm): transmitter power available +45 dBm with 40 W equipment
Note: The RF test tone level POWER T applies to channel 1 and channel 2.
