20120029728	CHARGING DEVICE FOR VEHICLE AND VEHICLE - A charging device for a vehicle includes a device-side power line communication (PLC) modem, a device-side control pilot (CPLT) signal generating circuit, a device-side CPLT signal detecting circuit and a device-side low-pass filter (LPF). The device-side PLC modem is used for PLC between the vehicle and the charging device. The device-side CPLT signal generating circuit is used for generating CPLT signals. The device-side CPLT signal detecting circuit is used for detecting the CPLT signals transmitted from the vehicle through the signal line to determine whether or not the vehicle is ready for charging and whether or not the charging is completed. The device-side LPF is connected to an input of the device-side CPLT signal detecting circuit and has such a frequency characteristics that allows the CPLT signals to pass through the device-side LPF but removes signals having frequencies in a frequency band used for PLC.	02-02-2012
