Canadian PLT Report

A field test report on PLT prepared by Communications Research Centre (CRC) Canada has been submitted to the FCC as part of a recent ARRL response.

The North American Broadcasters Association (NABA) contracted the Communications Research Centre (CRC) to carry out Measurements of Electromagnetic (EM) radiation from Power Line Telecommunication (PLT) devices operating in a residential environment.

The document describes the test procedure and results for the measurement of EM radiation to determine the extent of potential interference from PLT devices to broadcast services operating in a residential environment. The tests were carried out by CRC from November 2008 to January 2009.
