Performance Bounds of DPSK and OOK for Low Elevation Optical LEO Downlinks

Performance Bounds of DPSK and OOK for Low Elevation Optical LEO Downlinks

Optical wireless LEO downlinks are seen as an emerging solution to increase available bandwidth to multigigabits per second. One of the biggest challenges is the impact of the atmosphere on the optical signal. The atmosphere causes time-varying link degradation due to index of refraction turbulence,...
