On the Role of Power Electronics in Visible Light Communication

The continuous demand of increasing data rates provided by wireless communication systems is contributing to saturating the RF spectrum. Visible Light Communication (VLC) systems aim to alleviate this congestion by using the visible light spectrum. These systems have been proposed to make use of Hig...
