ABSTRACT:
A power line data transmission system is disclosed in which data is transmitted over a line carrying alternating current power by varying or modulating the power factor of the line or the phase angle of the power on the line in accordance with a signal to be transmitted. A series connected reactance and switch are connected across the line. The switch is turned on and off in response to the data signal to be transmitted over the line. The phase angle of the voltage and current on the line is detected at the receiving location. The phase relation between the voltage and the current is detected or compared to produce a binary digital signal corresponding to the data sent over the line. The detection of the voltage and current being out of phase by a predetermined amount may be used to generate a signal indicating a digital one. The detection of the voltage and current being in phase may be used to generate a signal corresponding to a digital zero.
