Quantization noise caused by analog-to-digital converter (ADC) gives rise to the reliability performance degradation of communication systems. In this paper, a quantized non-Hermitian symmetry (NHS) orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing-based visible light communication (OFDM-VLC) system is presented. In order to analyze the effect of the resolution of ADC on NHS OFDM-VLC, a quantized mathematical model of NHS OFDM-VLC is established. Based on the proposed quantized model, a closed-form bit error rate (BER) expression is derived. The theoretical analysis and simulation results both confirm the effectiveness of the obtained BER formula in high-resolution ADC. In addition, channel coding is helpful in compensating for the BER performance loss due to the utilization of lower resolution ADC.
