Summary
Novel superposed 3D-64QAM constellations enhance data rates in visible-light communication (VLC) systems with MIMO-OFDM. These schemes achieve better performance in highly correlated channels, improving bit error rate and LED efficiency.
Area of Science:
- Optical Communications

- Signal Processing
Background:
- Multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) enhances data rates in visible-light communication (VLC).
- High channel correlation in MIMO systems limits performance.
- Superposed constellations offer diversity gain in correlated MIMO channels.
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose novel superposed three-dimensional 64-quadrature amplitude modulation (3D-64QAM) constellation schemes for MIMO-OFDM VLC systems.
- To investigate the performance of two-LED and three-LED superposed 3D-64QAM schemes.
- To analyze the benefits of increased Euclidean distance and reduced LED nonlinearity.
Main Methods:
- Development of two-LED and three-LED superposed 3D-64QAM constellation schemes.
- Theoretical analysis and computer simulations.
- Experimental demonstration and performance evaluation.
Main Results:
- Superposed 3D-64QAM constellations achieve 1.67 times higher minimum Euclidean distance than 2D-64QAM.
- Equal-power superposition reduces LED nonlinearity and photodiode power competition.
- The three-LED scheme offers lower BER and improved dynamic range compared to the two-LED scheme.
- Experimental results confirm superior BER performance over traditional superposed 2D-64QAM.
Conclusions:
- Superposed 3D-64QAM schemes are effective for MIMO-OFDM VLC, especially in correlated channels.
- The three-LED scheme provides enhanced performance and efficiency.
- Proposed schemes offer a promising approach for high-performance VLC systems.

Receiver Operating Characteristic Plot
214
A ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic) plot is a graphical tool used to assess the performance of a binary classification model by illustrating the trade-off between sensitivity (true positive rate) and specificity (false positive rate). By plotting sensitivity against 1 - specificity across various threshold settings, the ROC curve shows how well the model distinguishes between classes, with a curve closer to the top-left corner indicating a more accurate model. The area under the ROC curve...

Design Example: Capacitance Multiplier Circuit
786
In integrated circuit technology, a capacitance multiplier is often utilized to produce a larger capacitance value when a small physical capacitance falls short. This is achieved by a circuit that multiplies capacitance values by a factor of up to 1000, such that a 10-pF capacitor can replicate the performance of a 100-nF capacitor.
The circuit illustrated in Figure 1 below incorporates two op-amps, with the first operating as a voltage follower and the second acting as an inverting amplifier.

Transmission Line Design Considerations
138
Aluminum has become the material of choice for overhead transmission lines, surpassing copper due to its abundance and cost-effectiveness. The most prevalent type is the aluminum conductor, steel-reinforced (ACSR), which combines aluminum strands around a steel core. Other variants include all-aluminum conductors (AAC), all-aluminum alloy conductors (AAAC), aluminum conductor alloy-reinforced (ACAR), and aluminum-clad steel conductors. Advanced designs, such as aluminum conductors with steel...

IR Spectrum
1.0K
When infrared (IR) radiation passes through a molecule, the bonds stretch or bend by absorbing the radiation. This absorption creates the molecule's absorption spectrum, which is the plot of its percentage transmittance versus wavenumber.
Transmittance is defined as the ratio of the radiant power passing through a sample to that from the radiation's source. Multiplying the transmittance by 100 gives the percent transmittance (%T), which varies between 100% (no absorption) and 0%...

IR Frequency Region: X–H Stretching
983
In IR spectroscopy, signals produced by the X−H bonds (such as C−H, O−H, or N−H) can be observed in the frequency range of 2700–4000 cm–1. The C−H stretching vibration forms sharp bands in the region 2850–3000 cm–1. The presence of the O−H stretching vibration leads to the forming of an absorption band in the frequency range 3650–3200 cm−1. At the same time, N−H stretching can be confirmed by absorption bands in...
