電力線智慧電表進化((PoweRline Intelligent Metering Evolution, PRIME)是電力線通訊(PLC)在歐規CENELEC A頻段基於正交分頻多工調變(OFDM)的通訊傳輸標準。本論文主要是研討與整理不同研究者提出的電力線通道模型；且完成了傳送端與接收端系統的模擬，並評估PRIME的性能表現；最後則用硬體FPGA實作驗證。

PRIME ( PoweRline Intelligent Metering Evolution) is a standard based on OFDM modulation in the CENELEC A band for Power line Communication (PLC). This paper will first organize and study the researches done on the PLC channel model; then the paper will illustrate a transceiver simulation system set up for performance evaluation for PRIME; and lastly, the paper will demonstrate the implementation of the transceiver on FPGA.
