Abstract

A power transmission network (40) is disclosed which includes input means (52) for the input of telecommunication signals having carrier frequen-cies greater than 1MHz onto the network (40), and a means for removing similar speech and/or data signals from the network. Preferably a network conditioning element (52) is used which includes a low pass filter portion for filtering out a low frequency high amplitude mains power signal, and a coupling element for input and/or removal of telecommu-nication signals from the ne-twork. In this way both speech and data signals can be trans-mitted at carrier frequencies of greater than 1MHz along a standard electricity distribution and/or transmission network which when conditioned pro-vides a larger available spectrum per unit length of network and greater transmission capacity than previously known. The quies-cent noise level of the conditioned network is also much reduced thus permitting lower signal injection levels for a given signal-to-noise ratio and a consequential reduction in spurious radiation from the network.
