A dual-mode wireless control system based on visible light communication (VL C) and radio frequency identification (RFID) is researched in this paper.Design,principle and some key techniques of the control system are shown .The software and hardware of a dual-mode door control system are designed as an example.It works in 10kHz o n-off keying non-return to zero (OOK-NRZ) differential Manchester encoded white light and 125kHz RFID Wiegand protocol.The control system is test ed in many situations like the outdoor without direct sunlight and the indoor with 50Hz incandescent lamp inte rference.It accomplishes a stable and good performance remote control in about 10m distance.Eye pattern is clear when the visible light RX signal is tested by the oscilloscope.We can see a stable control system with go od transmission performance and ideal control effect.It remedies some defects of an RFID or VLC control system a nd can be used to solve the latest 10m problem for the devices connected to the internet of things.
