Description
Summary:Wireless optical communication (WOPCOM) is a high-speed, high-capacity technology that transmits information by the use of white LED light over free space. WOPCOM technology operates a little differently from existing optical and wireless networks. By converting data into optical light and transmitting via white LEDs, WOP technology allows light to provide illumination while enabling information to be exchanged freely between devices and services without the hassles of cables. A WOPCOM device contains a WOPCOM transceiver which is able to provide communication, interconnection, signal processing, data exchange and control functions for devices such as audio players, laptops and desktop PCs through very-high-speed optical wireless data-links. In the WOPCOM receiver, the front-end amplifier, known as transimpedance amplifier (TIA), is the most critical component affecting the speed and noise sensitivity of the whole system.
