METHOD AND RECEIVER FOR RECEIVING OPTICAL SIGNAL IN OPTICAL WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18026414 titled 'METHOD AND RECEIVER FOR RECEIVING OPTICAL SIGNAL IN OPTICAL WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a receiver used in an optical wireless communication system.
- The receiver has a receiving aperture to capture an optical signal.
- A coupler separates the received optical signal into a main signal and a sensing signal.
- A sensor determines a control voltage based on the sensing signal.
- A detector outputs an electric signal, called the output voltage, based on the main signal and control voltage.
- The detector's transfer function changes based on the control voltage.
- The innovation lies in the design of the detector, which allows for the control voltage to modify its transfer function.
Original Abstract Submitted
A receiver used in an optical wireless communication system is provided. The receiver comprises: a receiving aperture for receiving an optical signal; a coupler for separating the optical signal received by means of the receiving aperture into a main signal and a sensing signal; a sensor for determining a control voltage Von the basis of the sensing signal; and a detector for outputting an electric signal which is an output voltage V on the basis of the main signal and control voltage V. The detector is formed such that the transfer function of the detector changes on the basis of the control voltage V.
