The solar-blind ultraviolet (UV) spectrum has useful properties for wireless communication and sensing. Strong atmospheric scattering in the UV spectrum enables non-line-of-sight (NLOS) communication. The authors present recent experimental and analytical results in NLOS UV channel modelling, including impulse response and path loss. The authors further study the NLOS UV link performance for short-range communication scenarios based on our theoretical modelling results. Relations between power limitation and channel bandwidth limitation are examined. Some link budget results are analysed for long-range communication links up to 5 km.
