Visible light communication (VLC) is an emerging technology that faces limitations in data transmission due to the modulation bandwidth of LEDs. This paper presents a power-efficient VLC receiver with a switchable equalizer that supports LEDs with different bandwidths. Experimental results show significant improvement in data rate for different tested LEDs.
Visible light communication (VLC) is an emerging technology that has been gaining attention over the last few years. Transmission of data at higher rates in a VLC system is mainly limited by the modulation bandwidth of the employed LED. To alleviate this limitation, equalization is frequently employed. This is usually achieved by either using discrete circuit elements or in digital form. In this paper, we present a power-efficient VLC receiver as a system-on-chip, implemented in 130 nm CMOS technology. The proposed receiver supports LEDs with different bandwidths thanks to the switchable equalizer. We tested the proposed receiver using phosphorescent white LEDs with different bandwidths on an experimental VLC link. For each tested LED, around 20 fold improvement in data rate was achieved compared to the original bandwidth of the LED. For the LED with a modulation bandwidth of 1.6 MHz, data rates of 32 Mbps and 50 Mbps at a BER of 10(-2) were obtained at a distance of 2 meters without and with a blue filter, respectively.
