چکیده

By using a complex phase screen model for a diffuser located at the transmitter, analytic expressions are developed for the scintillation index of a lowest order Gaussian-beam wave in the pupil plane of the receiver in weak and strong atmospheric conditions. The effect of partial coherence on the scintillation index is analyzed as a function of the propagation distance and the correlation length of the diffuser. The reduction in the scintillation level (due to the transmitter aperture averaging effect) is shown under all atmospheric conditions. The signal to noise ratio and the bit error rates (for OOK signal modulation) are discussed.

Design of a High Range, High Efficiency Spread Spectrum Transmitter for Audio Communication Applications

This work proposes a direct sequence spread spectrum transmitter with high transmission range and efficiency for audio signals. It is shown that by choosing high process gain for spread spectrum signal the data could reach a range of 55km in the 2.4GHz ISM band. By employing a light modulation scheme, we have a relaxed SNR requirement for having a low bit error rate (BER) which translates to re...

Link and System Design

Laser communications (lasercom) technology offers the potential for significantly increasing in data return capability from deep space to Earth. Compared to the current state of the art radio frequency (RF) communications links, lasercom links operate at much higher carrier frequencies (approximately 200–300 terahertz [THz]) compared to 32 gigahertz (GHz) for state of the art Ka-band deep-space...

Analysis of equal-gain diversity with partially coherent fading signals

An analytical technique based on Gram–Charlier series expansion is presented for the computation of the error probability of equal-gain combiner (EGC) with partially coherent fading signals. Imperfect carrier recovery is attributed to the random noise present in the carrier recovery loops. The resulting noisy phase references are assumed to satisfy Tikhonov distribution. The fades on the divers...
