“…However, the performance of FSO system will be severely affected by the scintillation due to the intensity fluctuations at the received signal by atmospheric turbulence [3,4]. In order to improve the system performance in the presence of turbulence, a variety of techniques were proposed, among which spatial diversity and aperture averaging have been extensively investigated [5][6][7][8]. For spatial diversity, multiple transmitters and receivers are normally required although it is an attractive method to mitigate fading of the received signals [5,6].…”
