  Abstract

In this paper, an inductive coupler using a nanocrystalline core with a saturation magnetic flux density three to four times higher than that of ferrite is realized, and a broadband power line communication (PLC) system using this coupler is demonstrated. The nonlinear BH characteristic curve of the soft magnetic material and the primary current of the coupler were used to simulate the FEMM to calculate the flux density distribution and flux energy of each coupler. The network performance of the inductive PLC system is compared to the communication distance and channel bandwidth measured by the Jperf program. In measuring the channel bandwidth of the ship`s internal powerline network, the coupler using the nanocrystalline core showed similar communication bandwidth to the coupler using the seven ferrite cores. An inductive coupler made of a single nanocrystalline core has successfully delivered sensor and image data through the ship`s power grid. The use of nanocrystalline cores with high permeability can be used to build broadband PLC systems in a variety of fields, including ships and automobiles, since couplers can be made smaller than ferrite types.
