Abstract

Molecular communication (MC) is a method where the transmission of information involves the use of molecules rather than electromagnetic waves. In this letter, an open-air transmission MC experiment is conducted to study the signal behavior and the noise. A mass spectrometer is used as the detector, and an in-house-built odor generator is used as the transmitter. It is shown that the signal amplitude loss of the signal can be modeled by using advection-diffusion with decay equation. In addition, the noise of the system has shown to have similar characteristics to that of additive white Gaussian noise.
