Statistical Analysis on the Optical Fading in Free Space Optical Channel for RoFSO Link Design

摘要

This paper presents empirical probability density functions (p.d.fs) of variance and fluctuation speed of scintillation, through analyzing a number of experimental data measured in Japan by a statistical model. The model enables us to treat scintillation speed by one parameter of cut-off frequency in the power spectral density (PDS). By using the model and based on the two p.d.fs, we also present simulation results on the level crossing rate (LCR) and average fade duration (AFD). Combined the two results, an outage probabilities corresponding to a threshold optical intensity can be derived.
