    Abstract

    We propose a two-cascaded, constant-resistance, symmetrical bridged-T amplitude equalizer for a high-speed visible light communication (VLC) system. With the pre-equalization circuit, the 3 dB bandwidth of the VLC system can be extended from 12 to 235 MHz using a commercially available phosphorescent white light-emitting diode (LED), a blue filter, and a low-cost PIN photodiode. The data rate is 1.20 Gbit/s, exploiting 16-quadrature amplitude modulation-orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing with a 300 MHz modulation bandwidth over 50 cm of free-space transmission under the pre-forward error correction limit of 3.8×10 3. To our knowledge, this is the highest 3 dB bandwidth and the highest data rate ever achieved by using a pre-equalization circuit and white LED in a VLC system.
