Effect of external mismatch and internal mismatch caused by pointing error on performances of space chaos laser
Abstract:
In order to evaluate the effect of pointing error on space chaos laser communication system, we conduct bit error rate (BER) analysis with external mismatch and internal mismatch caused by pointing error. Based on BER formulae, numerical simulations are conducted to investigate the effect of external and internal mismatches on performance of the system under different boresight and jitter. Our results indicate that jitter will affect BER more than boresight and internal mismatch will affect the performance of system more than external mismatch. These results are significant for optimizing space chaos laser communication system design.

Two special sources may be considered when they are in phase. This can be easily achieved by feeding the two sources from the same source. An example would be synchronizing the two speakers by feeding them with the same source, such as the sound waves produced by a tuning fork. This setup ensures that the two sources have the same frequency and are...
