In order to make good use of power line carrier to communicate, it is necessary to analyze the time-variable, impedance,attenuation and noise characteristics of low voltage power line. The waves of every characteristic have been experimented. At the same time, aiming at these characteristics, some available measures are given in order to conquer the disadvantage factors. The experimental results show that some suitable carrier communication modes must be adopted to realize ideally the carrier communication on low voltage power line.
