Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) The conventional narrowband power-line communication (NB-PLC) is a two-wire system, that has injected its signal between wires with a capacitive coupler.
When communicating between floors at a large-sized building, the signal has to travel over long-distances across a switchboard which supplies electricity to distribution boards. Moreover, the signal is attenuated not only at the switchboard but also at distribution boards. Then signal amplifiers have had to be installed at the boards.
In this paper, a single wire PLC solution has been proposed to reduce the communication distance and avoid the attenuation by taking a shortcut. It has been described experimentally that the earth could be used as its signal returning path to the signal source. An inductive coupler suitable to this system has been also proposed. The signal attenuation of the proposed system was 30dB better than that of the conventional two-wire system according to our scenario.
The achieved performances of PLC modems also showed that the proposed method was useful.
