There are today broadband power line modems available in retail stores that are based on either conventional OFDM or on Wavelet-OFDM. However, the comparison of these two multicarrier modulation techniques in the specific context of power line communications has been seldom addressed in the literature. In this paper, OFDM and Wavelet OFDM are compared by focusing on two important aspects: transmission efficiency and spectral leakage. It will be shown that, for the case of the power line channel…

This paper presents a form of digital multicarrier modulation which is referred to as overlapped discrete multitone, or discrete wavelet multitone (DWMT), modulation, which is based on the application of M-band wavelet filters, and designed to achieve a combination of subchannel spectral containment and bandwidth efficiency that is fundamentally better than with other forms of multicarriers modulation.

It is shown that without any pre-receiver processing, the level of interchannel interference is lower in the cosine-modulated family of filters, because of their higher stopband attenuation.
