Title
Experimental And Analytical Investigations Of An Optically Pre-Amplified Fso-Mimo System With Repetition Coding Over Non-Identically Distributed Correlated Channels
Abstract
This paper presents theoretical and experimental bit error rate (BER) results for a freespace optical (FSO) multiple-input-multiple-output system over an arbitrarily correlated turbulence channel. We employ an erbium-doped ber amplier at the receiver (Rx), which results in an improved Rx's sensitivity at the cost of an additional non-Gaussian amplied spontaneous emission noise. Repetition coding is used to combat turbulence and to improve the BER performance of the FSO links. A mathematical framework is provided for the considered FSO system over a correlated non-identically distributed Gamma-Gamma channel; and analytical BER results are derived with and without the pre-amplier for a comparative study. Moreover, novel closed-form expressions for the asymptotic BER are derived; a comprehensive discussion about the diversity order and coding gain is presented by performing asymptotic analysis at high signal-tonoise ratio (SNR). To verify the analytical results, an experimental set-up of a 2 1 FSO-multiple-inputsingle-output (MISO) system with pre-amplier at the Rx is developed. It is shown analytically that, both correlation and pre-amplication do not affect the diversity order of the system, however, both factors have contrasting behaviour with respect to coding gain. Further, to achieve the target forward error correction BER limit of 3:8 10 3, a 2 1 FSO-MISO system with a pre-amplier requires 6:5 dB lower SNR compared with the system with no pre-amplier. Moreover, an SNR penalty of 2.5 dB is incurred at a higher correlation level for the developed 2 1 experimental FSO set-up, which is in agreement with the analytical findings.
