Communication over Vehicular DC Lines: Propagation Channel Characteristics

This paper investigates the propagation channel characteristics of a power line communication inside a vehicle. Transfer functions have been measured between various points of the DC network in a frequency range extending from 500 kHz up to 70 MHz to deduce the statistical behavior of the path loss, delay spread and coherence bandwidth. The results are compared to those obtained with a deterministic propagation model, simulating the entire cable harness
