Performance Evaluation of Multiple Transceiver Optical Wireless Communication System

Optical wireless communication (OWC) system is considered as a promising solution to meet the increasing demands of high data transmission rates and channel bandwidth over a long link distance. The Optical wireless communication system can be used in various applications such as inter-satellite links, inter-aircraft links, terrestrial links etc. In this paper, the performance of an optical wireless communication link with varying number of transmitters and receivers is evaluated. The performance of the system has been analyzed on the basis of BER, Q Factor, SNR, and total power of the received signal. The results show that by using multiple transceiver technologies, the quality of the received signal is enhanced for long distance links operating at high data transmission rates.
