Maximizing the Area Spanned by the Optical SNR of the 5G Using Digital Modulators and Filters

Abstract

High security data link channels having more immunity against channel noise is the need of the century. Free Space Optical communication (FSO) is the modern technology which kick-starts it’s application in inter satellite communication, underwater communication and mobile communication to the next level of data transmission by means of complete utilisation of the allocated frequency spectrum. In Europe and Asian countries, 5G optical communication will going to expand its usage to nearly 50% in upcoming years and so bandwidth and power efficiency has to be enhanced as much as possible since the consumption rate of the users is increasing exponentially. But increasing the distance increases the attenuation in case of severe atmospheric weather condition. In this paper, 5G data rate of 50Gbps is ensured for better signal reception with maximum possible link distance between the sender and the receiver keeping variable attenuation environment. The frequency of operation is 1550nm throughout the processes. In this work, several digital modulation techniques and optical filters for receiver are designed and simulated. The better resulting modulator and filter design in terms of high Quality factor and low bit error rate are considered and is integrated with each other. The Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and optical SNR are calculated for the integrated design theoretically. Higher the SNR less will be BER and hence the signal connectivity can be improved in the high speed free space optical communication systems.
