Q-factor and BER performance analysis of inter-satellite optical wireless communication using 26 transponders

摘要

Satellite technology plays an important role in this modern world. The data from the satellites that are available at different orbits needs to be sent to the earth stations. In order to pass the data there must be a communication network between the satellites. So, there arises the concept of inter-satellite optical wireless communication (IsOWC). In this paper, we proposed the communication system using 26 transponders are simulated using Optisystem software. The results of Q-factor, Bit Error Rate (BER) and threshold were measured and analyzed for all scenarios in order to optimize IsOWC of 26 transponders performance.
