MUMBAI, India, Jan. 7 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511103852 A) filed by Indraprastha Institute Of Information Technology, New Delhi, on Oct. 28, for 'series-parallel module-based architecture for solar-based photodetector communication system and method thereof.'
Inventor(s) include Rahul; Pal, Ankit Kumar; Aggarwal, Parag; Mitra, Abhijit; and Bohara, Vivek Ashok.
The application for the patent was published on Dec. 12, under issue no. 50/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure provides a dual-function solar communication receiver that includes a photodetector array comprising solar modules configured in a series-parallel arrangement. The photodetector array is configured to generate electrical signals in response to incident modulated optical signals. The receiver further includes a combination unit that simultaneously enables energy harvesting and communication information extraction from the photodetector array through separation of alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) components from the generated electrical signal. The DC component is routed to a power sink device to facilitate energy harvesting operations, while the AC component is directed to a signal processing module to extract communication information. The series-parallel configuration of the solar modules reduces the effective capacitance of the photodetector array and enhances the operational bandwidth, thereby enabling high-speed optical data reception while preserving energy generation capabilities."
