Channel measurements are improtant to characterize the PLC channel. We have developed both measurement methodologies and statistical analysis tools. New results about the characterization of the [...]
Bottom-up channel modeling refers to an approach where the channel impulse/frequency response is obtained via the application of transmission line (TL) theory to a specified network topology, [...]
Top-down channel modeling refers to an approach where the channel impulse/frequency response is obtained with a parametric model with parameters obtained by fitting real data from measurements. [...]
UWB in the form of impulsive modulation is an interesting transmission technique for its low implementation complexity. We are investigating it both for in-home and smart-grid applications.
We have developed a novel breakthrough filter bank technology that captures the best charactersitics of the known filter bank solutions but in a radical new architetural philosophy. It exhibits [...]
The high amount of applications to be implemented in the Smart Grid requires bi-directional connectivity between a multitude of nodes with a reliable, high speed, low latency, energy efficient [...]
On April 25, 2018 an article appeared on the Austrian newspaper Der Standard. It is about PLC…the least publicized, most mysterious and most underestimated communications technology. The [...]
Radio access networks are moving towards the small-cell based paradigm, where the macro-cell base stations are aided by additional ones with small coverage but high traffic capabilities. This is [...]
An extremely relevant task is to grant safety, reliability and uninterrupted availability of transmission and distribution power grids. In one word, maintenance is fundamental in power grids. [...]
Andrea Tonello interviewed by Katharina Tischler-Banfield for ad astra Power Line Communication (PLC) uses electricity cables to transmit data. Andrea M. Tonello, professor at the [...]
