Abstract
Method and apparatus for generating a power line communication (PLC) signal. In one embodiment, the method comprises generating a first modulation signal based on at least one data stream; modulating a first carrier signal by the first modulation signal to generate a first signal; generating a second signal by performing a phase shift based on the first signal; and coupling a balanced three-phase PLC signal comprising the first signal, the second signal and a third signal to a three-phase power line.
