Abstract: A connector including a magnetic core and a cable. The cable includes a first conductor and a second conductor. The first conductor and the second conductor are wound around each other. The cable is wound a plurality of times through a center of and around the magnetic core. A first end of the first conductor and a first end of the second conductor are configured to connect to power line communication equipment. A second end of the first conductor and a second end of the second conductor are configured to connect to a power line.

Abstract: The techniques described herein permit the application of methods for increasing the performance of a communications system on a medium made up of N conductors and a reference plane by means of injecting signals inductively in up to N combinations of the conductors, including injection in common mode, such that said injected signals can be made to be orthogonal to each other.

Abstract: It is characterized in that, maintaining the sampling frequency of the digital-analog converter of the transmitter and the analog-digital converter of the receiver, the bandwidth, the spectral position of the OFDM signal, the shape of the spectrum of the OFDM signal that is transmitted, the level of the spectrum of the OFDM signal that is transmitted, or any combination of the above, are selectively and independently varied for the transmission path and for the reception path, in order to permit the configuration of the spectrum of the OFDM signal in terms of bandwidth, position in frequency and power transmitted for being adapted to the regulations of different countries and to the channels found in the different sections of the electrical network. All these changes are carried out without affecting the analog components of the system, in other words, with the same physical implementation.

Abstract: A process for reducing common-mode current in a power-line communication equipment, where a power-line network is used as a communication medium, includes applying a signal transmitted by the power-line communication equipment via a common-mode choke circuit. The common-mode choke circuit includes braided signal cables mounted around a toroidal magnetic core. The signal is applied to the braided signal cables. The common-mode choke circuit is located adjacent to a connector of a power supply cable supplying power from a power outlet to the power-line communication equipment.
