The HomePlug 1.0 technology includes 84 sub-bands of 195.31 kHz, whereas
HomePlug AV comprises 918 narrower sub-bands of 24.414 kHz. Therefore, the
PSD wave is less important in HomePlug AV, which makes it possible to increase
the transmission power by 2.2 dB for PPDU data.
Figure 8.7 illustrates the PSD deviation between HomePlug 1.0 and AV. The
PSD is expressed in dBm/Hz.
Table 8.4 summarizes the mean transmission power of the various components
of the HomePlug’s physical frame in these two versions.
The HomePlug 1.0 and AV specifications stipulate that, in order to comply with
the EM (electromagnetic) emission limits, the PSD of PLC devices must be equal to
or less than −50 dBm/Hz.
