Volterra Kernel Estimation of White Light LEDs in the Time Domain

In this paper, we present a time domain method for extracting coefficients of nonlinear Volterra-series kernels for white light-emitting diodes (LED) used both for illumination and visible light communications. We show that this method may have several advantages over the thus far more popular frequ...

description In this paper, we present a time domain method for extracting coefficients of nonlinear Volterra-series kernels for white light-emitting diodes (LED) used both for illumination and visible light communications. We show that this method may have several advantages over the thus far more popular frequency domain method. We successfully apply the measured kernel coefficients up to the 3rd order for the modeling of nonlinear distortion impact on advanced modulation formats: pulse amplitude modulation, carrierless amplitude phase and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing. The impact of blue filtering on dynamic nonlinearity is also presented.
