✦ Synopsis
The main problem of an indoor infrared (IR) wireless system via diffuse infrared link is bit error rate (BER) performance degradation due to intersymbol interference (ISI) induced by multipath distortion. In the previous study, only a rectangular pulse was employed as a transmitted pulse. However, multipath distortion tends to make the nondirected diffuse indoor IR channel have a low-pass frequency characteristic, and thus a rectangular pulse, whose spectrum has a form of sinc function, induces much ISI. In this paper, we analyze the BER performance of indoor IR wireless system via diffuse link employing different kinds of pulse waveforms, such as a Gaussian pulse and a raised cosine pulse, and consider the effect of ISI. Moreover, we analyze the BER performance employing a return-to-zero (RZ) pulse which has a guard interval in a slot. It is shown that the RZ Gaussian pulse is effective in mitigating the effect of ISI.
