POWER LINE COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, INTEGRATED CIRCUIT, AND POWER LINE COMMUNICATION METHOD

摘要

Frequencies to which a plurality of channels are to be assigned are set, on the basis of a frequency spacing (?f) between adjacent channels among the plurality of channels, and an offset value (foff) that is the difference between a frequency to which any of the channels among the plurality of channels is assigned and a baseband frequency. Communication is executed via power lines, using a prescribed channel selected from among the plurality of channels that have had frequencies set thereto. ?f and foff are to satisfy 864 kHz = ?f = 1728 kHz and 14 kHz < foff < 176 kHz.
