Uma contribuição ao problema de detecção de ruídos impulsivos para power line communication

Abstract

This dissertation aims to propose and evaluate five techniques for impulsive noise detection in order to improve digital communications through power line channels. The imput signals for the proposed detection techniques are impulsive noise signals on discrete-time domain, on the Discrete Wavelet Transform domain and on the Discrete Fourier Transform domain and it makes use of feature extraction and selection techniques, as well as detection techniques supported on Bayes Theory and Multi-layer Perceptron Neural Networks. Comparative analysis show some advantages and disadvantages of each proposed technique and the relevance of them to solve the impulsive noise detection problem.
