Abstract
In this work, the performance of binary phase shift keying (BPSK) subcarrier intensity-modulated terrestrial free-space optical (FSO) communication link is analysed in the presence of noise and atmospheric turbulence. To ameliorate channel fading caused by the atmospheric turbulence, we propose a subcarrier time delay diversity (STDD) scheme in which the delayed versions of the original data are re-transmitted on different subcarriers. In short range links, a single re-transmission scheme results in an estimated gain of up to 4.5 dB in received irradiance.
