Transmitter (TX) requirements
▪ Pdp_max = 500mW
▪ V_bias = 1.5V (+/- 100mV)
Receiver (RX) requirements
▪ Pdp_typ = 100mW
▪ V_bias = -5V
Transmission distance through air
▪ limited by power output of light-emitting diode (LED)
and beam half angle
▪ Power decreases through air with

INFRARED (IR) LED
VISIBLE LIGHT LED
Wavelength: 390nm to 780nm
Very susceptible to
interference from ambient
light (need for a versatile filter
system & noise cancellation
system)
May use solid-state lighting
(more compact system, ease of
deployment)
Wavelength: 780 nm to 950 nm
limits interference due to
ambient light
Need for separate transmission
circuitry
