Abstract


Abstract

Laser communication links in space are attractive alternatives to present day microwave links. Space communication as employed in satellite to satellite link is traditionally performed using microwaves. High capacity inter-satellite communication crosslinks will permit more efficient and more reliable operation of future satellite systems. The mass, power consumption and size of optical transceiver module will be smaller than that of a microwave transceiver. On the other hand, inter-satellite communication is limited by “satellite vibration”. The ultimate disadvantages include misalignment in tracking, signal attenuation and high BER (bit error rate). Inter-satellite optical wireless communication has attained recognition in small time due to its innumerable advantages as compared to its RF counterpart. This study includes system description of Is-OWC system.

Keywords: Optical detectors, bit error rate, detectors, wireless communication, satellites, laser communication, inter-satellite links.
