Abstract:
Disclosed is a method and apparatus for reducing outbound interference in a broadband powerline communication system. Data is modulated on first and second carrier frequencies and is transmitted via respective first and second lines of the powerline system. A characteristic of at least one of the carrier signals (e.g., phase or amplitude) is adjusted in order to improve the electrical balance of the lines of the transmission system. This improvement in electrical balance reduces the radiated interference of the powerline system. Also disclosed is the use of a line balancing element on or more lines of the powerline system for altering the characteristics of at least one of the power lines in order to compensate for a known imbalance of the transmission system.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for reducing interference radiated by a powerline transmission system, the method comprising:\n transmitting first data via a modulated first carrier signal on a first line of the powerline transmission system; transmitting second data via a modulated second carrier signal on a second line of the powerline transmission system; and adjusting a characteristic of at least one of the modulated first carrier signal or the modulated second carrier signal based on a known imbalance between the first line and the second line to improve an electrical balance of the first line and the second line of the powerline transmission system, wherein the powerline transmission system is a frequency division multiplexed system transmitting the first data and the second data on a plurality of frequency channels and the adjusting of the characteristic of the at least one of the modulated first carrier signal or the modulated second carrier signal is performed independently for each of the plurality of frequency channels.
