A transmitter/receiver unit for use in a two way electrical power supply line carrier communication system. The unit includes two conductors (3, 5) for connection to the supply line, and a transmitter (1) and a receiver (7) each connected across the two conductors. A first winding (9) of a transformer is connected in series between the transmitter (1) and receiver (7) on one of the conductors (3). Switching means (13, 15, 21) is provided which is operable to control the impedance across a second winding (11) of the transformer so that the first winding (9) presents a relatively high impedance to carrier signals when the receiver (7) is operating, and a relatively low impedance to carrier signals when the transmitter is operating. |
