Description

The common-mode (CM) current generated from the differential-mode (DM) signal at the unbalanced elements distributed on the power-line network is the origin of the radiated emission from the power-line communications (PLC). The LCL measured at the outlet is often used as a measure of the unbalance in power-line. However not all CM currents generated appear at the outlets. In this Paper, we have analyzed the mode conversion at the swich branch which consists of the ceiling light and the wall swith, forms one-leg serial stub, and is typical unbalanced elements on the domestic power-line. We have proved the existance of the hidden antenna current under more general condition than folded dipole. The hidden antenna currents contribute to the radiated emission but not to the CM current or the LCL measured at the outlet. Therefore the outlet LCL is ovbiously not good measure of radiated emission. Taking the hidden antenna currents at the switch-branch into account, the lowest LCL of the swich-branch becomes -6dB. Taking the DM loss between the outlet and the switch-branch into account, the effective (minimum) LCL is around 0dB.
