기존의 Multiple-Subcarrier변조 방식에 4-차원(4-D)신호를 이용한 Optical Wireless통신 방식을 제안하였다. 4-D 신호는 신호파형 최적화 기술 (OSW, Optimization Technique of Signal Waveforms)을 이용하여 유도하고 Multiple-Subcarricr의 block coder에 적용함으로써 출력 신호점 간의 Euclidean distance를 최대화하였다. 그 결과 고정 dc 바이어스를 부가한 상태에서 시스템에서 요구되는 Normalized power를 QPSK에 비해 3 dB, Reserved Subcarrier 나 Minimum Power에 비해 최대 3.3 dB 를 각각 절감하였고 normalized bandwidth 1.125 ∼ 1.25의 범위에서 QPSK에 비해 평균 3 dB, Res. Subcarrier 방식에 비해 2 ∼ 4 dB, Min. Power 방식에 비해 0 ∼ 3 dB를 각각 절감하였다.
We have proposed the 4-Dimensional Multiple-Subcarrier Modulation with fixed bias in Optical Wireless Communications. Here, the 4-D signal vectors are derived from the optimization technique of signal waveforms maximizing the minimum distance between signal points in an n-dimensional Euclidean sphere. The resulting vectors are used in generating the output amplitude of impulse generator in a Multiple-Subcarrier Modulation scheme. We have achieved that the normalized power requirement of the proposed system is maximum 3 dB and 3.3 dB smaller than those of normal QPSK, Reserved Subcarrier, and Minimum Power scheme, respectively. Also, in the range of 1.125 ∼ 1.25 of the normalized bandwidth, the proposed system has maximum 3 dB, 2 ∼ 4 dB, 0 ∼ 3 dB smaller bandwidth requirement compare to normal QPSK, Res. Subcarrier, Min. Power schemes, respectively.
