 INTRODUCTION
• An audio optical wireless communication system
communicates using optical (light) energy as the
transmission medium.
• It can communicate within a short range of about
15-20 meters.
 HISTORY
• Claude Chappe invented semaphore visual
telegraph, an optical signaling system.
• In 1904, the heliograph telegraphy transmitters
were used by the German.
• Optical Morse transmitters “Blinkgerät” which
made use of red filters was used in World War I.
TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE DESIGN

 Radio Frequency (RF) Wireless Audio

Communication System

 Bluetooth Wireless Audio Communication System

 Optical Wireless Audio Communication System

 ADVANTAGES
• They have a low cost.
• They consume less power.
• They are simple and easier to use.
• They have a long lifespan.
 DISADVANTAGES
• The system require line of sight (LOS) for
communication.
• This can work within a close range of about 7-10
meters.
• The efficiency of the system is low.
• They have a low transmission speed.
• They are easily affected by noise.
• They can’t communicate when obstacles are
placed at their transmission path.
 COMPONENTS USED
• Resistor
• Bridge Rectifier Diode
• LED
• Switch
• TDA7240A Audio Amplifier IC
• Capacitor
• Loud Speaker
• Audio Jack
• Step Down Transformer
• Voltage Regulator
• Photo Detector
TRANSMITTER UNIT
RECEIVER UNIT
 SYSTEM SPECIFICATION
• Transmitter
 Input Voltage: 220/240V (50/60HZ) AC
 Output Voltage: 12V DC
 Output Current: 300mA
• Receiver
 Input Voltage: 220/240V (50/60HZ) AC
 Output Voltage: 12V DC
 Power Output: 20W
 OPERATION
• Audio signal gets to the transmitter unit through the audio jack.
• The audio signal is fed to an audio amplifier which amplifies the audio
signal.
• The amplified audio signal is then sent to the infrared transmitter which
converts the amplified audio signal into optical (light) energy.
• The radiated light energy from the transmitter is detected by the photodiode
at the receiver which converts the detected light from optical (light) energy to
an electrical energy.
• The converted electrical energy is sent to an amplifier which amplifies the
electrical signal.
• The amplified electrical signal is then fed to a loudspeaker which converts
the electrical signal to an audio signal.
 APPLICATION
Wireless communication in:
• Museum
• Airplane, Aircrafts
• Intercom
• TV sound system
• Closed Circuit Cameras
 CONCLUSION
This paper looks at how to design and construct an efficient, portable, cost
effective and low power optical wireless audio communication system. This
system was constructed making use of two infrared transmitters and four
infrared receivers. This was done with the aim of improving the efficiency of
the system as if any of the infrared transmitters or receivers are not in
proper line of sight alignment, the other transmitter/receiver would be in
proper line of sight alignment thereby ensuring the reception of the
transmitted audio signal. When tested, IT performed well within a
maximum communication range (distance between the transmitter and
receiver) of 16 meters with a reliability of 94 percent. Hence the system
could be said to be reliable.
 RECOMMENDATION
• The laser diode should be used as the transmitter.
• Many transmitters and receivers can be connected in
parallel to improve efficiency.
• It should be interfaced with RF technology to reduce
the limitations like line of sight (LOS).
