Performance evaluation of downlink design based on free space optical system

Abstract

In this paper, the performance of downlink design utilizing the free space optic (FSO) is presented. The permissible BER of 10-58 is achieved when the system utilized 40 cm aperture diameter. The highest system sensitivity will lead to less error and enable more transmission output. The result revealed, at a bit rate 155Mbps and effective received power -27.5 dBm, FSO downlink system at bit rate 155 Mbps improved by 13% as compared to 1.5 Gbps and 2.5 Gbps in single transmission line. It is truly shown that, the FSO system utilized 155 Mbp/s with 40 cm aperture diameter shown good performance of a reliable FSO downlink system.
