State-of-the-art power line communications (PLC) channel models follow either a bottom-up or a top-down strategy. The forner uses transmission line theory and it captures the physics of [...]

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) aspects in the context of Power Line Communication (PLC) systems are of great importance. In the paper “EMC Regulations and Spectral Constraints for [...]

“Can we derive the topology of a wireline grid and more in particular of a smart grid ? This is the question that I asked to myself”, prof. Tonello says. Why is the topology knowledge [...]

“While physical layer security (PLS) is a well understood topic in wireless communications, we have only recently addressed PLS in PLC. The PLC channel has very peculiar characteristics that [...]

Filter bank modulation schemes for transmission over wide band channels are becoming more and more relevant for future wireless and wireline communication systems. The most popular technique is [...]

Power distribution grids provide a physical medium not only for power delivery but also for data transmission through Power Line Communication (PLC) systems. However, since such a medium has not [...]

Prof. Andrea Tonello (now with the University of Klagenfurt) and his former PhD student Alberto Pittolo have received the prestigious IET 2016 Premium Award for the Best Paper published in IET [...]

The most comprehensive text on Power Line Communications is now available. The book is co-edited by by L. Lampe, A. M. Tonello, T. Swart. It shows some adjustments w.r.t. the previous edition in [...]

I have been elected Chair of the IEEE ComSoc Technical Committee on Power Line Communications for the term 2016-2018. The interests of the technical committee span all areas of communications [...]

I have co-authored two papers that have received the Best Paper Award and the Best Student Paper Award at the IEEE International Symposium on Power Line Communications 2016 held in Bottrop, [...]
