Abstract

Recently, Ultraviolet communication is paid more and more attention, with its solar blind and Non-Line-of-Sight characteristic. However, it is hard to capture and recover the transmitted signal outdoor without synchronized signal. In this work, we integrate Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP) into UV communication system and employ GPS as synchronized signal. At receive side, photon counting and adaptive threshold method are used to recover original signal. Through experiments, we test path loss and BER of the system under di erent con guration geometries. Some results are compared to the previous proposed path loss and BER models.
