Alignment Performance of FSOC in Stratosphere and to the Ground Station
Airborne platforms, such as drones, balloons, and aerostats, have recently gained considerable interest in the communication sector. Free-space optical communication (FSOC) systems can deliver information wirelessly at high data rates (above 1 Gbps) using compact and lightweight optical terminals. Thus, airborne FSOC systems have been a recent subject of interest and activity, including emerging projects such as Google Loon and Facebook Aquila. One of major technical challenges of FSOC system is the stringent requirement of pointing, acquisition, and tracking (PAT) capability to ensure the reliable transmission between the transmitter and receiver, due to narrow beam width and movement of airborne platforms. By identifying and validating improvement techniques dealing with this issue, we developed simple models of propeller and wind induced vibrations and investigated the effect of those vibrations on the performance of FSOC systems operating in the stratosphere.
