Abstract
The multipath model uses in powerline communication channel (PLC) is based on a parametric model where many parameters can be estimated only after measurement of the PLC impulse response, thus limiting the capability of a priori channel modelling. Zimmermann model proposed after measurements, attenuation parameters in the frequency range of 500 kHz to 20 MHz. Mie scattering approach is applied on scattering points of the channel and the attenuation is derived. Also, the power law is applied to derive analytical attenuation parameters in a wide frequency range starting from 10 MHz to 3 GHz.
