PPM Systems specialises in: RF over fibre systems (SIGINT and COMINT), antennas and stacked antenna systems, software-defined radio, RF filtering and conditioning, EM spectrum and decoding receivers, and IED/ECM defeat systems. PPM Systems provides antennas for a range of defence applications, including communications, jamming, spoofing and threat-emissions. Antenna bandwidths range from 20 MHz to 40 GHz in static, vehicle and manpack configurations. FORAX (Fibre Optic Remote Antenna eXtension) equipment provides RF over. PPM consists of PPM Power (power electronics & HV components), ViaLite (RF over fibre), PPM Test (test equipment) & PPM Systems (custom RFoF & antennas). Our ViaLite products are used in teleports and earth stations around the world and in other facilities where it is necessary to carry radio signals over inter-facility or cross-site fiber optic links. In this article, the requirements and design of a prototype pulse-position mod-ulation (PPM) receiver are considered. This article focuses on a prototype optical receiver concept that will be used to demonstrate and validate optical reception un-der conditions representative of deep-space. Abstract—We consider visible light communication (VLC) using phosphorescent white light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and two different receiver types – a simple receiver for moderate data rate requirements and a sophisticated receiver for higher data rate requirements equipped with an optical blue. The PPM Point-to-Point (p2p) systems allow high fidelity transmission of analog signals that require immunity to electrical interference, high voltage isolation, or long haul signal transmission.
