An Investigation of Atmospheric Optically Scattered Non-Line-of-Sight Communication Links.

Abstract

This report contains the results of a study of short-haul non-line-of-sight optical communication. The experimental factilities are discussed and include source description, receiver description, post-detection processing, and ozone measurements. Cambridge and Lubec experiments were performed. The experimental results include measurement of weather conditions, angular spreading, and non-line-of-sight data. Future research is also discussed. (Author)
