Abstract
This paper presented a field test to measure the performance of HomePlug Adaptor 85 Mbps to reveal true performance and impairment-handling capability. The reason for this is that in real user setting of whole-house networking over AC wiring, not all point to-point (outlet-to-outlet) connections are the same. The amount of signal attenuation and noise between outlets is not the same. The reality of this these differences requires that PLC technology must be tested. The result show that even though the connection speed of the adapter is claimed to be 85 Mbps, the real throughput is only around 30-40Mbps. The throughput rate highly dependent on the existence of motorize electrical
appliances, which cause variations in the line loading. PLC is having a bit problem to deal with different phases of electrical distribution. The throughput rate will drop slightly compare to the in phase electrical distribution field test. Beside these well known as residential applications, PLC is also applicable for special applications which is in real time application. The field trial also investigate applicability of voice communication via HomePlug 85 Mbps adaptors. My research suggests that PLC is a strong candidate for voice communications or VoIP as a new techique for applying in smart house.
