Inter-satellite Optical Wireless Communication (IsOWC) System Design: A Study
Abstract: AbstractLaser communication links in space are attractive alternatives to present day microwave links. Space communication as employed in satellite to satellite link is traditionally performed using microwaves. High capacity inter-satellite communication crosslinks will permit more efficient and more reliable operation of future satellite systems. The mass, power consumption and size of optical transceiver module will be smaller than that of a microwave transceiver. On the other hand, inter-satellite communication is …
