Abstract
An apparatus, network system, and method for detecting network phenomena of a power distribution network. A signal injection device adapted to be connected to the power distribution network injects a signal having signal parameters onto the power distribution network. A signal receiving device adapted to be connected to the power distribution network receives the injected signal on the power distribution network. The signal receiving device is adapted to determine the signal parameters of the received signal and is adapted to evaluate the signal parameters of the injected signal with respect to the determined signal parameters of the received signal. An output device connected to the signal receiving device provides an indication of the determined evaluation.
