The invention discloses a power line two-way power-frequency communication uplink signal detecting method. The method is characterized by including the steps of firstly, making background power-frequency signals of modulating signals cancelled out and enhancing the modulating signals through a weighted summation method in the two-way power-frequency communication uplink signal detecting process, conducting derivation on the enhanced modulating signals, and conducting empirical mode decomposition on the modulating signals through ensemble empirical mode decomposition; secondly, finding the order, where the frequency of 150 HZ to 500 HZ is located, in an n-order intrinsic mode function through correlation operation, finding the threshold value of a corresponding order through the intrinsic mode function of the order where the frequency of 150 HZ to 500 HZ is located, conducting threshold value denoising, and calculating the Hilbert marginal spectrum of the denoised signals through Hilbert conversion, and therefore the time domain where the modulating signals are located is detected, most noise and harmonic interference can be effectively removed, and the time domain where the modulating signals are located can be accurately detected. The method has the advantages of being scientific, reasonable, easy to implement, high in detection accuracy and the like.
