Original Abstract Submitted

a power adapter can include a power input node, a communication channel node, an output node, a low-pass filter, a modulator, and a high-pass filter. the low-pass filter can include a low-pass input node coupled to the power input node and a low-pass output node coupled to the output node. the modulator can include a modulator input node coupled to the communication channel node and a modulator output node. the modulator can be configured to modulate data received from the communication channel node onto a signal having a higher frequency than a data-carrying signal carrying the data received from the communication channel node and output the modulated data to a high-pass input node of a high-pass filter. the high-pass filter can include the high-pass input node coupled to the modulator output node and a high-pass output node coupled to the output node.
