Performance Analysis of Multi-Aperture Coherent Optical Receiver for Satellite-to-Ground Downlink
The performance of a multi-aperture coherent optical receiver based on the equal gain combining algorithm is analyzed for the satellite-to-ground downlink. Atmospheric turbulence, weather conditions, and aperture averaging effect are considered. The analytical model of bit error rate is deduced. Then the effects of the atmospheric turbulence, weather conditions, and aperture size on the sensitivity of the receiver are analyzed, which provides effective guidance for practical applications.
