The invention provides a multi-carrier 
spread spectrum power line communication system. Communication equipment in the 
system comprises a 
signal transmission device and a 
signal receiving device; the communication equipment is characterized in that the 
signal transmission device comprises an 
encoder, a 
spread spectrum modulating unit and a carrier modulating unit, which are connected in sequence; the signal receiving device comprises a 
wavelet filter, a carrier frequency separator, a despreading unit, a data demodulator and a data decoder, which are connected in sequence; when in use, the 
spread spectrum modulating unit in the signal transmitting device carries out 
spread spectrum modulation on the data encoded by the 
encoder, and then the carrier modulating unit carries out multi-
carrier modulation on the signal subjected to the spread spectrum in order to meet the orthogonality conditions, and transmits the signal subjected to the spread spectrum to the signal receiving device; the 
wavelet filter in the signal receiving module carries out 
wavelet filtering on a received signal, and then the carrier frequency separator carries out 
frequency separation on each filtered 
subcarrier, the despreading unit despreads, and the data demodulator demodulates the signal, sequentially, and finally the decoder 
decodes in order to 
gain the data.
