Automotive VLC - Open Hardware Project Kommunikation mit sichtbarem Licht (2. Projektphase)
Licht emittierende Dioden (LEDs) werden immer häufiger als primäre Lichtquelle im Innen- wie auch im Außenbereich eingesetzt. Neben ihrer Funktion als Lichtquelle können LEDs, dank ihrer hohen Schaltgeschwindigkeit, auch für das neue Einsatzgebiet der Kommunikation mit sichtbarem Licht (VLC) verwendet werden. VLC nutzt dabei mehrere THz lizenzfreie ...

For 2863 - Ultrawideband Sampling
The metrology of wireless communication has to properly represent the complex interaction of the digital and analog signal domains. The high bandwidth at THz frequencies allows for extreme radio frequency (RF) bandwidth and hence also very large baseband bandwidth. In the baseband the broadband analog signals are digitized by broadband ...
