Abstract
In this work, we report modeling and performance investigation of 40Gbit/s-80GHz orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based radio over free space optics (RoFSO) transmission system by incorporating mode division multiplexing (MDM) of two Hermite Gaussian (HG) modes (HG01 and HG03) under strong atmospheric turbulence conditions. Two independent 40GHz radio signals each optically modulated at 20Gbit/s are transmitted over free space channel under the impact of dynamic weather conditions and increasing beam divergence angle. Further, the decomposition of distinct HG channels at the receiver unit has been demonstrated. Also, an enhanced performance by using a Square root module (SRm) after the photodiode at the receiving unit has been proposed. The simulation results exhibit a significant improvement in the performance of the link in terms of SNR and total received power by using the proposed system..
