Duobinary Modulation for Visible Light Communications
| Description | Have developed a comprehensive system simulation module for the proposed project based on Matlab, where one can model sub-sections, section and the entire system prior to design and implementation. In addition, we have developed an experimental test bed, used for evaluation and assessment of all organic based visible light communication systems. This test bed is unique to this project. We have also developed new concept of multi-level modulation schemes and artificial neural network based equalizers in order to increase the transmission date rate. We have also carried out experimental investigation of multi-wavelength based visible light communication without using optical filtering at the receive in order to demultiplexed the colours (or wavelength). In addition, currently we are working of flexible organic light emitting diodes for illumination, display and data communications for indoor applications. |
| Exploitation Route | The simulation model, the experimental test-bed, modulation schemes and equalisation techniques developed during the course of project could be used by other researcher, LED manufacturer, and others. |
