Abstract

In the terrestrial optical wireless communication(OWC), the performance is affected by atmospheric turbulence and particles in the air. The received signal power loss mainly is caused by turbulence and scattering. To minimize the adverse atmospheric effects, the OWC used optical signal modulation, such as OOK, PPM and DPIM. In this paper, the packet error rate(PER) was analyzed above three modulation methods to ground optical link in atmospheric turbulence, scattering and link distance. The OWC system used three wavelengths which are 850nm, 1310nm and 1550nm. I assumed the atmospheric turbulence intensity is weak, so the refractive index is $Cn2{\approx}10-14m-2/3$ and the visibility is 2km. The numerical results shown that the L-DPIM scheme and the wavelength 1550nm are better than other modulation methods and wavelengths.

지상 광무선 통신에서 대기의 교란 및 대기 입자에 의한 광의 감쇄가 있을 때, 대기교란의 강도 및 가시도가 수신 광 강도에 미치는 영향을 해석하였다. 광신호는 On-Off Keying(OOK), Pulse Position Modulation(PPM) 및 Digital Pulse Interval Modulation(DPIM)의 방식으로 변조하였다. 교란대기 하에서 각 변조방식에 대해 광 전송 거리에 따른 광수신 전력을 계산하고 이를 이용하여 전송거리에 따른 패킷 오류율(packet error rate: PER)을 계산하였다. 광신호를 전송하기 위한 광원의 파장은 850nm, 1310nm 및 1550nm을 선택하였다. 대기는 약 교란 상태로 가정하여 대기 굴절률 구조상수 $Cn2{\approx}10-14m-2/3$, 대기의 가시도 V=2km로 하였다. 약교란 대기 상태에서 세가지 변조방식 중 DPIM 방식이 우수하며, 광 신호의 전송을 위한 파장으로는 1550nm가 PER 성능이 우수함을 알 수 있었다.
