A novel study of ultra wideband (UWB) communication over the indoor powerline channel, in a wide frequency range up to 1 GHz is presented. An exhaustive measurement campaign was conducted on a test bed that replicated the environment of an indoor powerline network. The aim of this study was to observe and analyse the transmission and noise properties of such a broadband powerline channel. A time domain channel model has been used to study the broadband channel response of the powerline. Measurement and modelling results show that the indoor powerline channel provides a communication link in the 50–550 MHz frequency range. Channel capacity is greatly enhanced by exploiting the 500 MHz bandwidth. The conclusions of this study indicate that gigabit per second data rate transmission are possible over the indoor powerline channel in 50–550 MHz.
