G08B 25/00
US Classification:
34031001, 34031002, 34031006, 34031007, 34031008
Abstract:
The invention describes a method and a device for communicating a signal over a power line. One embodiment may comprise a length of MV power cable that comprises a center conductor substantially surrounded by an insulator. A first concentric conductor is disposed external to the insulator over a first portion of the cable. A second concentric conductor that may have a length related to the wavelength of one or more carry frequencies of the data signals is disposed external to the insulator over a second portion of the cable and external to the insulator. A first gap is formed where the cable is exposed between the first concentric conductor and a first end of the second concentric conductor. A transceiver for communicating data signals over the MV power cable may be coupled to the first end of the second concentric conductor.

11/265230
Inventors:
Paul A. Kline - Gaithersburg MD, US
Sergey L. Dickey - Farifax VA, US
William O. Radtke - Ellicott City MD, US
Assignee:
Current Technologies, LLC - Germantown MD
International Classification:
G05B 11/01
US Classification:
34031001, 34031002, 34031003, 340538, 340531
Abstract:
The invention provides a method and a device for communicating a signal over a power line. One embodiment may comprise a length of power cable that comprises a center conductor substantially surrounded by an insulator. A concentric conductor is disposed external to the insulator over a first portion of the cable. A coupling conductor may be disposed concentrically around a second portion of the cable external to said insulator and having a first end and a second end. The concentric conductor is absent in a manner to form a gap between the concentric conductor and the first end of said coupling conductor. A transceiver cable is coupled to the first end of said coupling conductor and a common mode choke may be disposed substantially around the entire circumference of a portion of said coupling conductor. Finally, the second end of the coupling conductor may be coupled to ground through a convenient neutral conductor.

US Patent:
7307512, Dec 11, 2007
Filed:
Apr 29, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/117498
Inventors:
David Stanley Yaney - Poolsville MD, US
William O. Radtke - Ellicott City MD, US
Assignee:
Current Technologies, LLC - Germantown MD
International Classification:
G05B 11/01
US Classification:
34031018, 34031011, 333101
Abstract:
The coupler of the present invention couples data signals, such as broadband RF signals, to and from a power line. The coupler of one embodiment that is for use with overhead power lines includes a length of URD MV cable with the neutral conductor removed. Each end of the URD cable is communicatively coupled to the MV power line conductor a predetermined distance from other. The distance between the two connections points on the MV may be related to the wavelength of a carrier frequency used to communicate the data signals. The URD cable may also form part of a transformer to permit the passage of data signals while preventing the flow of the high voltage power signals through the coupler. The neutral semi-conductive jacket of the URD cable may be coupled to ground via a low frequency conductive path.

US Patent:
7321291, Jan 22, 2008
Filed:
Oct 26, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/973493
Inventors:
Brett D. Gidge - Mount Airy MD, US
William O. Radtke - Ellicott City MD, US
Assignee:
Current Technologies, LLC - Germantown MD
International Classification:
H04M 11/04
US Classification:
34031001, 34031006, 34031007, 34031008, 340531, 3405391
Abstract:
The present invention provides a system and method for operating a power line communications system for communicating via an underground residential distribution power system. One embodiment of the present invention includes an aggregation point, which may be co-located with a point of presence, communicatively coupled to one or distribution points. The distribution points are communicatively coupled to one or more medium voltage interface devices. The medium voltage interface devices are communicatively coupled to one or more power line bridges via URD medium voltage power lines. The power line bridges may be co-located with a URD distribution transformer and provide communications to the user devices communicatively coupled to the LV power lines of the distribution transformer.
