Equivalent analysis model of a GaN LED used as a receiver
Abstract:
In general, visible light communication (VLC) uses LEDs as transmitters. However, LEDs can serve as receivers to construct a simple duplex VLC system that uses only two LEDs instead of one LED and one photo-diode (PD). There is a lack of effective equivalent analysis models for characterizing and evaluating the inherent behavioral characteristics of LEDs used as receivers. This paper presents an equivalent analysis model for GaN LEDs as receivers. First, based on the proposed receiving equivalent circuit model, a third-order signal transmission mathematical analysis model is established, revealing the transmission relationship between the photocurrent and output voltage. Further research is conducted on the impact of parameter changes on the bandwidth, and the model can be simplified into a first-order low-pass mathematical analysis model under specific conditions, providing theoretical support for improving the bandwidth of LED receiving applications. The experimental results also confirm the theoretical predictions. This research result holds significant importance for revealing the intrinsic mechanisms and the improved optical communication performance of LEDs for effective reception.
