  • Publication number: 20210126713
    Abstract: An optical wireless transmission device according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a modulation unit for receiving input of a first input signal and outputting a first output signal; and a light source control unit for controlling a first light source in accordance with the first output signal. The first output signal repeats “0” and “1” in a first phase during clock time if a binary value of the first input signal is 0, and repeats “0” and “1” in a phase opposite from the first phase during the clock time if a binary value of the first input signal is 1.
