Abstract

A receiver for a power line communication (PLC) device includes an analog front end configured to receive an input signal from a power line. The input signal includes symbols and wherein each of the symbols includes samples. A demodulator module is configured to demodulate the input signal to generate a demodulated signal. The demodulator module includes an impulse noise module configured to detect and remove impulse noise in the symbols of the input signal.
