Abstract:
A circuit ( 100 ) for coupling an amplifier ( 1 ) in an electrical power distribution system with the amplifier electrically and physically isolated from a power line of the system. The amplifier generates arbitrary signal waveforms injected into the power line. A transformer (T 1 ) has a primary and a secondary side with the amplifier located on the primary side and the secondary side connected to the power line. A resistor (R 1 ) series connected with the primary side of the transformer is sized to accommodate a minimum load impedance of the amplifier and minimize power dissipation. A resonant circuit interposed between the secondary side of the transformer and the power line has values for a capacitor (C 1 ) and an inductor (L 3 ) forming the resonant circuit chosen to peak the amplitude of the arbitrary signal waveform at the frequency of a waveform propagated through the power line.

Claim (Index 6):
In an electrical distribution system, a coupling circuit for use in ULF/VLF power line communications through the system, the coupling circuit including:\n an amplifier generating arbitrary signal waveforms which are injected into a power line of the distribution system, the amplifier being both electrically and physically isolated from the power line; a transformer having a primary and a secondary side with the amplifier being installed on the primary side of the transformer, and the secondary side of the transformer being connected to the power line for the transformer to electrically and physically isolate the amplifier from the power line; a resistor connected to the primary side of the transformer in series with the amplifier, the resistor sized to produce a minimum load impedance of the amplifier and minimize power dissipation; and, a resonant circuit interposed between the secondary side of the transformer and the power line, the resonant circuit including a capacitor and an inductor whose respective values of capacitance and inductance are chosen so the amplitude of an arbitrary signal waveform peaks at a frequency of a power line waveform propagated through the power line.
