Abstract

Since the wireless optical communications system transmits informations through the atmosphere, it is subject to many effects of the constituent materials of atmosphere. The turbulence effect always exists in both clear and cloudy days. It causes a beam wandering, breathing, and scintillation. These disadvantageous phenomena degrade the performance of an optical communications system. In this paper, I designed a refractive index measuring system and subcarrier ASK optical communications system. Through this system I measured refractive index in May and in August. From these measurements, the minimum value of the refractive index in these period was about ${\approx}10^{-15}[m^{-2/3}]$ at night time and the maximum value was about ${\approx}10^{-12}[m^{-2/3}]$ at day time. The refractive index structure parameter. BER(bit error rate), and the burst length were measured simultaneously in these measurements. the theoretically predicted BER and the measured values showed a good agreement.

본 논문은 레이저를 이용한 지상 광통신에 교란대기가 미치는 영향을 해석하기 위한 것으로, 대기의 교란은 밝은 날이나 흐린 날에도 존재한다. 대기 교란으로 인하여 전파해 가는 광선은 빔의 방황, breathing, 신틸레이션이 발생하며 이는 광통신 시스템 성능의 저하를 가져온다. 이를 해석하기 위하여 대기굴절률 구조상수 측정 시스템 및 레이저 다이오드를 이용한 지상 광통신 시스템을 설계하였고. 이를 이용하여 대기의 굴절률 구조상수에 따른 지상 광통신 시스템의 비트 오류률을 이론적으로 유도하고 실험하였으며, 연집 오류와의 관계를 실험을 통해 구하였다.
