Abstract

A conventional wireless rf communication has relatively high ratio of power dissipation to transmit power for short-range links, susceptibility to interference, interception and jamming of electromagnetic wave. The study on alternative using ultraviolet signal to remedy the shortcomings of conventional rf communication has recently received attention. In this paper, the simulation results about the data rate performance of ultraviolet non-line-of-sight communication are provided. It is found that the direction of transmitting beam, receiving field of view width and the transmitting signal power have a seriously effect on the data rate of on-off-keying non-line-of-sight ultraviolet communication.

기존의 무선 RF 통신은 근거리에서 전력손실이 상대적으로 크고, 전파간섭 및 방해, 재밍 등에 민감하다. 이러한 단점을 보완하는 대안으로 자외선을 이용한 통신 방식에 대한 연구가 최근 관심을 받고 있다. 본 논문에서 자외선을 이용한 비가시거리 통신의 data rate 특성에 대해 시뮬레이션한 결과를 제시하였다. On-off keying 방식을 사용하는 비가시거리 자외선 통신에서 data rate는 송신 빔의 방향, 수신빔의 빔 폭, 송신 전력에 의해 큰 영향을 받는다는 것을 확인하였다.
