To have comparable results, we measure the peak-to-peak voltage of the preamble of the homeplug packet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Homeplug modem with AR7420, supplied by 5V
|
|
|
|
|
10Vpp at the transformer
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Homeplug modem with AR7420, supplied by 5V, with 150ohm series resistor between transformer and CP.
|
|
|
|
|
Foccci v3 (including transformer with RIK10, 2x5 turns) connected via 1m twisted pair.
|
|
|
|
|
3Vpp at the CP line
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Like 2, but in the homeplug modem two additional series resistors 680ohms in the transmit path, between
|
|
|
|
|
the power amplifier and the transformer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- EVSE packet: 250mVpp at the CP line
|
|
|
|
|
- Foccci packet: 500mVpp at the CP line
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Like 3, but in the homeplug modem the two 680ohm in serial and a 10ohm in parallel to the transformer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Foccci packet: 500mVpp at the CP line (no change, normal)
|
|
|
|
|
- EVSE packet: hardly measurable, in the 20mVpp range.
|
|
|
|
|
- Communication still works perfect.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Compleo 20kW triple charger
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sends very loud packets, even if no vehicle is connected.
|
|
|
|
|
17Vpp
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. ISO 15118-3
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On both, EVSE side and EV side of the charging cable, the typical voltage is
|
|
|
|
|
1.3Vpp.
|
|
|
|
|
This is specified as "power spectral density" of typical -75dBm/Hz at 1.8MHz to 30MHz, receiver band width 9kHz with 50 ohms.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example states the following levels:
|
|
|
|
|
- Transceiver output: -72dBm/Hz
|
|
|
|
|
- CP on EVSE: -76dBm/Hz
|
|
|
|
|
- CP on PEV: -78dBm/Hz
|
|
|
|
|
- Transceiver modem input: -81dBm/Hz
|
|
|
|
|
This would be 9dB between transmitter output and receiver input.

7. Output of the QCA7005
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4Vpp. Each output (TX+ and TX-) sit at ~1.6V statically, and move 1V up and 1V down. So the differential voltage
|
|
|
|
|
reaches from -2V to +2V, which is 4Vpp.
