Hidden antenna current in domestic power-line network
Masahiro Kitagawa (Osaka univ) EMCJ2008-78
Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) he common-mode (CM) current generated from the differential-mode
(DM) signal at the unbalanced elements distributed on the power-line
network is the origin of the radiated emission from the power-line
communications (PLC). The LCL measured at the outlet is often used
as a measure of the unbalance in power-line. However not all
CM currents generated appear at the outlets.
In this Paper, we have analyzed the mode conversion at the swich
branch which consists of the ceiling light and the wall swith, forms
one-leg serial stub, and is typical unbalanced elements on the
domestic power-line. We have proved the existance of the
hidden antenna current under more general condition than
folded dipole. The hidden antenna currents contribute to the
radiated emission but not to the CM current or the LCL measured at
the outlet. Therefore the outlet LCL is ovbiously not good measure
of radiated emission. Taking the hidden antenna currents at the
switch-branch into account, the lowest LCL of the swich-branch
becomes --6dB. Taking the DM loss between the outlet and the
switch-branch into account, the effective (minimum) LCL is around
0dB.
