LED Modulation Characteristics in a Visible-Light Communication System

This paper conducts a research on modulation characteristics of blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs) used in a visible-light communication (VLC) system. Through analysis of the modulation characteristics of LEDs with different emitting sizes, we find that there is a similar linear relationship between LED’s 3dB bandwidth and the operation current density. This experiment also shows that high serie...

LED-Based Visible Light Communication and Positioning Technology and SoCs

The rapid deployment of high-energy-efficiency, solid-state light emission diode (LED) lighting devices, replacing the conventional luminaires devices, brings unprecedented opportunities for alternative optical wireless communication and navigation applications. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art of LED-based visible light communications (VLC) and positioning (VLP) technologies with a focu...

Active tracking system for visible light communication using a GaN-based micro-LED and NRZ-OOK.

Visible light communication (VLC) holds the promise of a high-speed wireless network for indoor applications and competes with 5G radio frequency (RF) system. Although the breakthrough of gallium nitride (GaN) based micro-light-emitting-diodes (micro-LEDs) increases the -3dB modulation bandwidth exceptionally from tens of MHz to hundreds of MHz, the light collected onto a fast photo receiver dr...

Implementation of Downlink Visible Light Communication using LED and Photodiode

In this paper we present the initial design, implementation and result of a small-scale prototype of Visible Light Communication using simple LED and a photodiode. Data is transmitted through visible light by sending data in a binary format as on and off that varies in frequency faster than the human eye can follow. The data to be transmitted is encoded and sent. The data is decoded back at the...
