Abstract

In the visible light (VL) communication based on the conventional LED lights, depending on the increase of the communication range, the signal received at the photodiode of the VL receiver has usually the random distorted and decreased amplitude due to the path loss and fading effects of the VL channel. In order to overcome this problem, we propose, design, and implement the visible light communication circuit based on the comparator threshold voltage, where has a built-in distance compensation function. In addition, the performance of the proposed technique is evaluated and analyzed depending on the distance and communication speed through comparing the proposed VLC system based on the threshold voltage with the conventional one.

종래의 LED(Light Emitting Diode) 조명을 사용한 가시광 통신에서 송수신기 회로 사이의 통신 거리가 증가함에 따라 가시광 채널의 페이딩과 채널의 경로손실 특성으로 인해 가시광 수신 회로의 포토다이오드에서 수신된 신호는 불규칙한 크기이며 감쇠된 특성을 가진다. 이런 문제점을 극복하기 위해, 이 논문에서는 가시광 통신의 통신거리 확장을 위해 반드시 필요한 거리 보상 회로가 내장된 비교기 문턱 전압 기반의 가시광 통신 회로를 제안하여 설계하고 가시광 시스템 시스템을 구현한다. 또한, 구현된 문턱값 기반 가시광 통신 시스템을 통신 거리와 통신 시스템 속도에 따라 종래 가시광 통신 시스템과 비교하여 제안된 방식시스템의 성능을 분석한다.
