description Visible light communication has the advantages of large bandwidth, high security, and no RF interference, among which LED light sources are an important light source for indoor visible light communication. The use of LED as a light source for visible full-duplex communication is both to meet the lighting requirements and to ensure high-speed transmission of information. The uplink using the “cat’s eye” reverse modulation system can greatly reduce the system complexity of the reverse reflector. In order to analyze the factors affecting the optical power at the receiving end of the uplink of the indoor single light source visible light communication, this paper establishes the indoor visible light full-duplex communication system model and deduces the calculation method of the effective incidence angle of the uplink transmission light and the movable range of the reverse reflection end according to the model. The results show that when the link distance of the BK7 lens is 3 m, the lens aperture is increased from 100 mm to 150 mm, the lens focal length is increased from 100 mm to 150 mm, the travel distance of the reverse reflector is increased by 60%, and the effective range of the incidence angle is increased by about twice. In the absence of link loss, each 1 m increase in link distance increases the maximum travel distance of the reverse reflector by 0.8 m. Increasing the lens aperture, decreasing the focal length, and increasing the link distance can improve the movable range of the reverse reflector, and the effective incidence angle changes more gently with the position of the reverse reflector.
