Open source automation system is rapidly developing towards more reliable communication systems. In recent years for its convenient installation and low cost the power line increasingly become a popular transmission medium in creating industrial/ resident work. PLC is a technology uses power lines as physical media for data transmission. PLC offers a no new wires solution because the infrastructure has already been established. PLC modems are used for transmitting data at a rapid speed through a power line in a house, an office, a building, and a factory, etc. Due to this additional telemetry features, cost of the devices are more and all hospital or clinic cannot afford to buy them. Hence in our work, temperature, blood pressure and heart beat monitoring equipment based on power line communication is developed. This is cost effective equipment which uses existing power cables as communication medium. Power Line Modem (PLM) is used for transmitting and receiving the signals over power line cable. Signalsare modulated and demodulated using direct-sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) technology. When compared with other communication technologies like local area network (LAN), ZigBee, Bluetooth, the establishment cost for healthcare monitor using Power Line Communication (PLC) was low.

Purpose This paper aims to present the design of a novel triangular-shaped wideband microstrip bandpass filter implemented on a low-cost substrate with a notched band for interference rejection. Design/methodology/approach The conventional dual-stub filter is embedded with simple fractal-based triangular-circular geometries through various iterations to reject wireless local area network (WLAN) signals with a notched band at 5.8 GHz. Findings The filter covers a wide frequency band from 3.1 to 8.8 GHz and has a fractional bandwidth of 98 per cent with the lower passband of 57.5 per cent and upper passband of 31.6 per cent separated by a notched band at 5.8 GHz. The proposed wideband prototype bandpass filter is fabricated in FR-4 substrate using PCB technology and the simulation results are validated with measurement results which include insertion loss, return loss and group delay. The fabricated filter has a sharp rejection of 28.3 dB at 5.8 GHz. Measured results show good agreement with simulated responses. The performance of the fractal-based wideband filter is compared with other wideband bandpass filters. Originality/value In the proposed work, a fractal-based wideband bandpass filter with a notched band is reported. The conventional dual-stub filter is deployed with triangular-circular geometry to design a wideband filter with a notched band to suppress interference signals at WLAN frequency. The proposed wideband filter exhibits smaller size and better interference rejection compared to other wideband bandpass filter designs implemented on low-cost substrate reported in the literature. The aforementioned wideband filter finds application in wideband wireless communication systems.
