Abstract:
Now a day’s communications with high data rate as well as more band width is the most
important need of the whole world. Free space optical communication network (FSO) is line
of sight wireless communication technology. In FSO communication between transmitter and
receiver takes place, data carried by an optical laser beam light transferred to the free space
rather than fiber glass. It has many advantages over other communication technologies like
unlicensed bandwidth, more security, easy to install etc. but FSO chann el highly sensitive to
affected by bad weather condition namely rain, fog, snow, dust. Due to bad weather conditions
transmission of data from one point to another point becomes difficult, transmitted signal
strength reduced at end point of transmission, the data rate also decreases.
In this work, performance analysis of Carrier Suppressed Return to Zero (CSRZ), Non-Return
to Zero (NRZ) and Return to Zero (RZ) coded FSO communication using log normal channel
model under different weather conditions has been done at two operating bands. These bands
are C-Band and L-Band. For both bands, varying transmission distance(1-10Km), input power
(5-50dBm), divergence angle (0-9mrad) and attenuation (0.19-85dB/Km) at 100GHz channel
spacing with different type of filters and amplifiers are used.
In this thesis, result analysis shows that RZ with lowpass Chebyshev filter and EDFA has super
quality than CSRZ and NRZ for short distance transmission and low attenuation. But TW-SOA
enhance the performance of CSRZ, NRZ and RZ at high attenuation. Simulation conducted
along with Opti- system simulator in terms of graphical plot.
