Abstract
A method and system for transmitting and receiving high-frequency electrical communication signals over a previously installed building power line network is presented, in which minimal or no electrical modifications of the power line network are required. A high-frequency signal is impressed between earth ground/neutral and building ground power lines that are tied into a common ground bar at a service panel. The high-frequency signal isolates the earth ground line/neutral and building ground lines by creating an 'anti-resonant' condition. Since building ground is required by electrical safety codes to be present at all electrical outlets within the building, the carrier signals can be transmitted and received from any electrical outlet within the building. The high-frequency communication signals are not impressed on load carrying wires of the power line network, and are consequently not subject to the bandwidth, noise and high-voltage problems associated with other power line communication methods.
