Description / Abstract:
The scope of this standard is electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC) criteria and consensus test and measurements procedures for
broadband over power line (BPL) communication equipment and
installations. The standard references existing national and
international standards for BPL equipment and installations. It
does not include the specific emission limits, which are subject to
national regulations.1
Purpose
This standard is a part of a planned IEEE series of BPL
standards that will cover major aspects of BPL communication
technology: safety, EMC, media, coexistence, interoperability, and
education. By providing test and measurement guidance as well as
EMC criteria, this EMC standard will serve as a bridge between
national spectrum regulations, power utility practice, and other
interested party concerns. It is also will clearly identify the
basic definitions of the applicable EMC parameters for BPL
equipment and installations as well as measurements conditions and
settings.
1 And local regulations, should they exist.
