abstract = "Power line communications (PLC) is one of the preferred technology for smart grid communication. Recent works have shown that the performance of the system improved with the aid of relay nodes. However, many PLC applications need two-way communication links where the channels are highly correlated to each other. For this reason, two-relay two-way PLC channel system become more desirable. In this paper, we aim to model the two-relay PLC forward and backward channel transfer functions (CTFs) using ABCD matrix. We also investigate the channel characteristics by comparing the CTFs between single-relay and two-relay two-way PLC systems. It is shown that for non-direct links, the CTFs of the two systems are comparable. However, single-relay systems have better direct link CTFs compared to the ones of two-relay systems.",
