基于预失真四进制辐移键控调制的可见光通信系统

白光LED不仅可以用来照明还可以作为通信系统的光源,近年来随着光电器件性能的提高,室内可见光通信系统的研究成为热点。但照明用白光LED受自身器件特性限制,有效带宽仅为1MHz,为了在有限的带宽内提高通信速度和通信质量,设计了一种预失真的四进制辐移键控(4ASK)调制方案。在系统的发射端采用RC均衡和预失真电路,用以缓解LED带宽不足的情况;通过模拟实验得到最优化的参数后,搭建了可见光通信(VLC)传输系统的硬件电路。实验结果表明,在1m的传输距离内,系统最快传输速率可达到20MHz/s,误码率(BER)小于10-6。

驱动电流对大功率白光LED荧光粉转换效率的影响

对4种1W白光功率LED进行了100～900mA的变驱动电流光学特性试验。分析了荧光粉转换效率随驱动电流变化的内在机理,一是由于驱动电流增大导致蓝光芯片内量子限制斯塔克效应引起峰值波长蓝移,致使蓝光与荧光粉的匹配程度降低;二是由于驱动电流增大导致器件温度升高,荧光粉的非辐射增多,且其激发态能级分裂加剧,导致部分能量降低,黄光波长出现红移现象。通过分析上述两种因素的综合作用,得出了荧光粉转换效率随驱动电流变化的规律,并据此提出改进白光LED驱动电流特性的建议。

High-speed real-time visible light communication system based on InGaN/GaN-base multi-quantum well blue micro-LED

Visible light communication (VLC) technology is a new type of wireless communication technology, which employs a light source as the carrier of information to realize illumination and communication simultaneously. This paper adopts a single InGaN/GaN-base multi-quantum well blue micro-light emitting diode (LED) as the light source, designs pre-emphasis circuit, LED driver circuit, impedance matching network, etc., and builds a high-speed real-time VLC system. It has been verified that the LED achieves a 3 dB modulation bandwidth of 450 MHz or more; and the real-time communication rate reaches over 800 Mbit/s at a distance of 2 m. The communication bit error rate (BER) is as low as at a communication rate of 622 Mbit/s. Experimental indicators including 3 dB bandwidth, communication rate, and communication BER are all taken into account. Therefore, this VLC system supports high-quality high-speed real-time communication.     

Channel capacity of the distributed MIMO relay in visible light communication systems

Visible light communication (VLC) is a novel paradigm that uses light-emitting diode (LED) light as an information carrier and has several advantages over radio-frequency communication in terms of the bandwidth, security and multi-path fading. When the VLC system is considered in an indoor environment, LED lamps, which are placed at the ceiling to provide ambient light, can offer rich spatial resources for VLC as distributed intermediate relaying terminals. This paper introduces a novel distributed multiple-input multiple-output (D-MIMO)-relaying VLC scheme and analyzes its communication performance. Using the sum rate of the broadcasting and multiple access relay channels, a tight upper bound on the channel capacity was derived. The numerical results showed that the D-MIMO-relaying VLC scheme outperformed the direct-path-based scheme in terms of the channel capacity. For a given indoor environment, the capacity of D-MIMO-relaying VLC can be improved further by selecting the appropriate relay parameters, such as the number of LED–PD pairs in a relay, distance between relays and height of relays.

Design and experiment of post-equalization for OOK-NRZ visible light communication system

Considering that the white LED’s spectral response decreases exponentially with the increase of carrier frequency for the on-off-keying non-return-to-zero (OOK-NRZ) visible light communication (VLC) data links, a first-order RC high-pass filter is designed and fabricated as a post-equalizer (PE) to compensate the LED spectral response. Formulation and simulation are both available for illustrating the VLC performance with and without PE. Experiments are performed in detail for the fabricated OOK-NRZ VLC system integrated with PE. The data transmission results show that by using PE, the measured carrier bandwidth is enhanced from 0.8 (0.4-1.2) MHz to 1.7 (0-1.7) MHz, and the bit-error-rate (BER) is less than 10-9. It proves the feasibility of the proposed scheme in OOK-NRZ VLC data links.     

ESIM‐OFDM‐based transceiver design of a visible light communication system

Visible light communication (VLC) system has been becoming a potential technology for short‐range data communication over wireless optical channel. In this paper, a real‐time state‐of‐the‐art VLC system prototype is implemented mainly based on enhanced subcarrier index modulation orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (ESIM‐OFDM) modulation scheme. The prototype has been designed using NI cDAQ hardware equipment programmed in matlab /labview . In other words, the developed VLC transceiver labview model is loaded into cDAQ to perform real‐time transmission of text data. The design mainly comprises VLC transmitter, VLC receiver, interfacing NI cDAQ with labview , and implementation of ESIM‐OFDM. It should be noted that the direct output of ESIM‐OFDM is not suitable to drive VLC transmitter circuit; therefore, the key contribution lies in making use of sigma–delta modulator to modify ESIM‐OFDM output to produce constant current signal which in turn could drive VLC transmitter. The second main contribution of the work targets the luminous properties of the designed transmitter that have experimentally been characterized using a LUX meter. Finally, the last contribution of the work is the simulation carried out to analyze the performance of the proposed system with other existing VLC modulation schemes.
