| Popis: | The orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission has shown promise in applications of visible light communication (VLC). However, the variation of the nonlinearity of the optical power emitted by the high power light emitting diode (HPLED) as a function of current and temperature implies in drastic OFDM-VLC performance degradation. The first part of this work, experimentally confirms and models this degradation due to temperature in a high power white HPLED. The higher attenuation at high frequencies, which is inherent to the HPLED and which is accentuated by the effect of the intrinsic capacitance of the photodiode, is another factor of degradation due to the reduction of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the receiver for such frequencies. For the mitigation of these effects, we propose a pre-distortion and digital pre-equalization scheme using a luminous feedback signal in the transmitter module. The system is modeled so that the operating points are mathematically deduced and evaluated by simulations and by an experimental setup. By allowing the linearization of the transmitted light signal and the maintenance of an average SNR in all OFDM subcarriers, the performance improvement is confirmed in comparison with other schemes, such as with non-predistortion, pre-distortion with fixed parameters, and simple post-equalization.
