The frequency-domain analysis of carrier channels on distribution cable networks is performed by means of an efficient procedure based upon the nodal approach and modal theory. The multiconductor system may present any configuration with multiple discontinuity points. The use of equivalent two-port PI-circuits allows the nodal admittance matrix to be defined in a new form. Very accurate frequency-dependent analytical models are developed to simulate systems of single-core cables or multiple-core pipe-type cables, buried or above a ground plane. In this paper the simulation and propagation models are used to compute the voltage attenuation of carrier channels on uniform line-sections and distribution networks of tree- and mesh-type configurations with different lumped loads, in a frequency range up to 200 kHz.
