Abstract
A power line communication system () comprising a first node () and a second node (). The first node () comprises a second-node-connection-terminal (); a first-node-transmission-module () that provides a first-node-output-signal () to the second-node-connection-terminal (); and modulates the voltage level of the first-node-output-signal based on first-node-transmission-data. The second node () comprises a second-node-input-voltage-terminal () that is connected to the second-node-connection-terminal () of the first node () in order to receive the first-node-output-voltage-signal (). The second node () is configured to use the first-node-output-voltage-signal () as a supply voltage. The second node () also includes a second-node-transmission-module () that: provides a second-node-current-signal () to the second-node-input-voltage-terminal () for transmission to the second-node-connection-terminal () of the first node (); and modulates the current level of the second-node-current-signal () based on second-node-transmission-data. The second node () also includes a second-node-reception-module () that is configured to process the voltage level of the received first-node-output-signal () in order to demodulate the first-node-transmission-data. The first node () further comprises a first-node-reception-module () that processes the current level of the second-node-current-signal () received from the second node () at the second-node-connection-terminal () in order to demodulate the second-node-transmission-data.
