Performance of Encoding, Encryption, and Modulation Schemes in Free-Space Optical Communication Evaluated on the Atmospheric Testbed
Appala Venkata Ramana Murthy
In this paper, we investigate the adverse atmospheric effects, including wind disturbance, dry fog, wet fog, and smoke conditions, which are simulated on an atmospheric testbed specifically built for free-space optical communication (FSOC) experiments. We have also developed an FSOC system that can modulate the optical signals with the choice of the modulation, encoding scheme, and encryption. A robust, secure link that is operated by the user from a single graphical user interface. We have furt
