Channel Modelling and Performance of Non-Line-of-Sight Ultraviolet Scattering Communications

Abstract

The solar blind ultraviolet (UV) spectrum shows unique properties for wireless communication and sensing. Sufficient scattering in UV spectrum can make a non-line-of-sight (NLOS) communication scenario feasible. We present recent experimental and analytical results in non-line-of-sight UV channel modeling, including impulse response and path loss. We further study the NLOS UV link performance for short range scenarios based on our theoretical modeling method. Geometry based path loss results are presented. Tradeoffs between transmitter power and channel bandwidth are examined. Useful link budget results are proposed and analyzed for long range communication links up to 5 kilometers.
