High transmission rate beam steering system for free-space communications

Image from Licence Details: High transmission rate beam steering system for free-space communications

Applications: Communications, Illumination, LiFi.

Non-mechanical beam-steering system suitable for optical wireless communication that uses beam-steering in both the transmitter and receiver.

Features Benefits
  • Supports high bandwidth and high signal to noise.
  • The technology allows high data transmission rates.
  • Substantial improvements in link performance of the system.
  • Less transmission power needed compared to current methods, saving costs.
  • The beam-steering method can use low-cost compact components and requires no moving parts.
  • Cheaper to manufacture and less complex than current state of the art beam steering technologies.
  • Lightweight and high-performance steering system.
  • Can be designed for a broad range of transmission rates and wavelengths, including visible and near IR.
  • Very flexible method that can be easily adapted to fit the requirements of a communication system.
  • Compatible with a wide range of existing optical wireless transmitter and receiver components.
  • Requires minimal redesign to fit and upgrade existing systems.
  • Allows two-way communication as beam steering is conducted for both transmitters and receivers.
  • Simple and robust bidirectional communication.
  • Reduces cost and need for two parallel systems.
