Abstract

Multiple-input single-output (MISO) techniques are employed in free space optical (FSO) systems to mitigate the degrading effects of atmospheric turbulence and therefore the link reliability is improved. In this paper, we consider an incoherent radial array beams and a finite sized slow detector for MISO FSO systems. We have derived the average power and power correlation formulas on the finite sized slow detector using the Huygens Fresnel principle in weak atmospheric turbulence. This helps us to find the system performance, such as power scintillation and aperture averaging factor. Effect of system parameters such as the source size, the ring radius, the degree of coherence, the link distance, the structure constant and the receiver aperture radius are analyzed on the performance of MISO FSO systems.
