Abstract
Diversity reception is an effective technology to mitigate the atmospheric turbulence effect on the performance of the coherent free-space optical (FSO) communications. Furthermore, considering high-speed optical communications and the state-of-art clock frequency of state-of-the-art field-programmable gate array (FPGA) or application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC), reducing the computational complexity of digital combining algorithm and analyzing the performance of parallel structure algorithm has become important research issues for diversity reception system. In this paper, we experimentally investigate the performance of a low complexity digital combining algorithm (CA) based on adaptive filter By replacing complex weight with real-valued weight, the number of real multiplications required in digital CA can be reduced by 62.5%. real-valued weight CA also ensuring the similar BER and outage probability performance in terms of serial structure under three different turbulence strengths. For parallel structure algorithm, the performance of real-valued weight CA is superior to that of complex-valued weight CA.
