We study the performance of diversity combining techniques applied to synchronous laser
communication through the turbulent atmosphere. We consider the effects of log-normal …

We study the performance of diversity combining techniques applied to synchronous laser
communication through the turbulent atmosphere. We assume that a single information …

Diversity reception can be used over free-space optical links to mitigate atmospheric
turbulence effects on system performance. In this paper, we present the error rate analysis …

Optical communication over the clear atmosphere provides a means for high data rate
communication (gigabits per second) over relatively short distances (kilometers). However …

Optical communication through the atmosphere possibly enables high data rate
communication. However, the optical field undergoes fades or outages due to air turbulence …

Optical communication through clear atmosphere provides a means for high data rate
communication (Gbps) over relatively short distances (/spl sim/km). However, turbulence in …

We study the performance of various binary and nonbinary modulation methods applied to
coherent laser communication through the turbulent atmosphere. We compare the spectral …

The fades and background noise that are seen by the receiver (s) in clear atmospheric
optical communication can be mitigated with diversity and coherent receivers. However, in …

When communicating optically through the clear atmospheric channel, not only is there
atmospheric turbulence and background noise, but there may also be interference from …

Net-centric warfare in todays dynamically changing military environments and the need for
low-cost gigabit intra-city communication present severe challenges for current free-space …
