Conclusion
A novel 2PolSK system employing a spatial diversity with N -photodetector is
proposed to circumvent the scintillation effect on a FSO link. My
contributions in this work include:
1. No need for synchronization at the receiver since the optical reference
signal is transmitted at a different state of polarization;
2. No error floor and no power penalty in the BER performance due to the
intermediate angular frequency (IF) and the IF phase noise are eliminated
by employing polarization modulation;
3. Higher transmission data rates can be achieved by employing the
external modulation.
