Development of a ROF-based System Using DQPSK through IsOWC Channel for Long Haul Data Rate Applications

Abstract

Abstract In order to achieve large capacity inter-satellite communication, optical wireless communication (OWC) is emerging as a promising area of research amongst the academic and research groups. While radio over fiber (ROF) and advanced modulation technique is considered to be a key enabling technology in the development of OWC based access networks for high-speed data transmission. This paper has proposed a novel ROF based system model using OWC for long haul high data rate applications. This system is designed using differential quadrature phase shift keying (DQPSK) through inter-satellite optical wireless communication (IsOWC) channel. The verification of the performance is performed at bit rates of 100 and 200 Gbps over a space distance range up to 1000 to 50000 km under different transmitted power. The simulative investigation has been carried out in terms of important parameters like BER, Q-factor and eye diagrams.
