Improvement of the Approximation Accuracy of LED Radiation Patterns
For the great variety of light-emitting diodes (LEDs), there exists a wide range of LED radiation patterns. An approach for constructing patterns of higher accuracy is here considered. The latter is required when the design of optoelectronic systems or their optimization is carried out analytically. A weighting function is introduced that allows increasing the gradient of the diagram of different widths. It has been selected through mathematical analysis of the emission diagrams of different LEDs used in optoelectronic systems. Based on the least squares method an algorithm is created, and programs are developed in MATLAB environment to estimate the parameters of the approximation function. Its accuracy is evaluated by comparison with the approximation with Lambert source of order n. The results show higher accuracy of the proposed approximation function compared to those obtained by conventional methods. Recommendations on the application of the proposed approach are given.
