Local network using an electrical power distribution system and associated reflection device
First Claim
1. Local network for the transfer of information between several communication devices connected to an alternating current electrical power distribution system with a pre-determined frequency, the information conveyed in the local network being transferred in the form of electrical signals forming waves in the electrical power distribution system in a frequency band greater than the pre-determined frequency, the electrical power distribution system being connected to an electrical power supply system, characterized in that the local network comprises at least one device for reflecting waves forming reflected waves in the power distribution system.
