Popis: Impulsive noise is one of the major challenges in power line communications and can cause serious problems in OFDM-based PLC systems. In this paper, we propose a combined Time-Domain/Frequency-domain technique for impulsive noise reduction in OFDM-based PLC systems. The performance of the proposed technique is studied against well known time-domain nonlinearities by means of computer simulations. The obtained simulation results show that the Combined TD/FD technique performs better than practically used nonlinearities and can reduce the adverse effect of impulsive noise significantly.
