Spatial-Diversity Imaging Receivers for Non-Line-of-Sight Solar-Blind UV Communications
Abstract
Optical wireless links in the solar-blind ultraviolet (SB-UV) band transmit data without the need of a line-of-sight through the use of atmospheric scattering. These links have a host of advantages including security, covertness and ease of deployment, however, they inherently suffer large path loss and delay spread due to the underlying atmospheric scattering process. This paper considers the use of spatial degrees of freedom at the receiver …
