Diversity Reception for Deep-Space Optical Communication Using Linear Projections
Abstract
A novel spatial diversity receiver for deep-space optical communication links is proposed. Using digital micromirror devices, the receiver optically computes linear projections of the turbulence-degraded focal-plane signal distribution onto an orthogonal binary basis. By using such projections, an estimate of the signal distribution is computed and updated adaptively to follow the time variations of the signal distribution. The estimate is used …
