Performance Evaluation of Transmission Distance And Bit Rates In Inter-Satellite Optical Wireless Communication System

Abstract

The day to day development has advanced the optical communication system from long-lasting fibers to wireless

system such as inter-satellite transmission system. This can be accomplished as the optical systems have

resulted to be used in space communication as a medium between two satellites. The inter-satellite optical wireless communication link is designed and simulated for performance characterization. In this work we are using optical wireless channels (OWC) for inter-satellite communication and optimize the data exchange depending upon the performance parameters like Quality factor, Bit error rate and Received power. In IsOWC link parameters considered mainly are bit rates and input transmitted power. In this, optical inter-satellite link is modelled using simulation software and then the effect of varying the transmitter power and bit rate of optical communication link is analyzed. The inter-satellite links were modelled and simulated with the help of optical system simulator named OPTISYSTEM.
