Abstract—The performance of pixelated multiple-input multiple output optical wireless communication systems can be impaired by vignetting, which is the gradual fall-off in illumination at the edges of a received image. This paper investigates the effect of vignetting for a pixelated system using spatial orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). Our analysis shows that vignetting causes attenuation and intercarrier interference (ICI) in......
