Performance Improvement of an Optical Inter-Satellite Link over Low Earth Orbit
Authors: , , , ,
Abstract: Space communication systems are often designed using satellite-to-satellite links based on microwave. It has been found that the future of satellite systems can be improved to operate more efficiently and reliably through the utilization of optical links between satellites (ISL). This work examines the system performance of an optical ISL that is proposed among lowEarth orbit (LEO) satellites. In this study, the proposed link is simulated to to achieve the utmost permitted rate of data and minimum bit error rate over different distances. The system performance is improved by investigating its dependency on the photodetector type, operating wavelength, transmitted optical power, RZ and NRZ schemes.
