Description
Summary:To achieve the high traffic rate of a GaN LED-based visible light communication (VLC), a 4&#x00A0;&#x00D7;&#x00A0;4 color-polarization-multiplexing system is demonstrated by using two blue and two green LEDs. In the measurement, an available bandwidth of blue and green LEDs can be greater than 465&#x00A0;MHz for VLC modulation traffic by using the suitable analogy front end circuit. Hence, the proposed VLC system can deliver 1.7 to 2.3&#x00A0;Gbit&#x002F;s <sc>on</sc>&#x2013;<sc>off</sc> keying traffic rates in the free space transmission length of 1&#x2013;4&#x00A0;m under the extremely low illumination of 6.9&#x2013;136.1 lux for the indoor application. Moreover, the measured BER of each LED is less than the forward error correction target of 3.8&#x00A0;&#x00D7;&#x00A0;10<sup>&#x2212;3</sup> to maintain the better signal performance.
