Impact of increasing threshold level on higher bit rate in free space optical communications

The biggest challenge facing free space optical deployment is optical signal propagation in different atmospheric conditions such as fog, low clouds, rain, snow, dust, haze and various combinations of each. A transmission and detection technique for free space optical communications is proposed wher...
