All I know is that it seems to be a major problem in Europe, with lot's of HF spectrum uses seeing high levels of interference to services. Amateur Radio organizations world-wide are fighting it (including ARRL in the US).
I heard a talk regarding this problem in Germany at the last IEEE EMC Symposium; may be more next month in Boston....

As I understand this, this is a carrier current system, digital modulation format, frquencies ranging from 2 to 40 Mhz, amplitude limits of ~40 dB to 60 dB above Class A conducted emission limits. Anybody have any experiance or comments about this? For further explanation see: http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/SilverStream/Pages/edocs.html Use the search term: "broadband over power line" thanks, dave garnier David Garnier e GE Medical Systems ___________________________________________ David S.
