Analysis on the Effects of Atmospheric Turbulence on Line-of-Sight Ultraviolet Communication System Performance

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the ultraviolet communication system, optical signals being transmitted are not only attenuated in energy, but also affected by the atmospheric turbulence. The effects of atmospheric turbulence intensity and information transmission rate on the BER performance of UV communication system are analyzed and simulated in this paper. It can be found that when the atmospheric turbulence intensity changes from weak to strong, the BER performance deteriorates along, and under the certain atmospheric turbulence intensity, information transmission rate will also have an impact on the system BER performance, the information transmission rate becomes faster, the BER performance gets worse.
