Abstract

The EN 50561-3, a power line communication standard, has been published. It allows very high interference levels, and is neglecting the allocation of the very high frequency band 30 MHz – 87.5 MHz, which is mainly assigned to military communication. It is shown that these communication systems are severely degraded, in our experiment a reduction of performance of 44 dB was measured. The military personal who are, especially after recent terrorist attacks and the following lockdowns, active in our cities to safeguard the citizens are dependant of the use of the very high frequency communication systems, and they will be very seriously hampered when using then communication systems. It is shown that the EN 50561-3 and the power line communication systems are violating the essential requirements of the European EMC Directive.
