Spatial Diversity and Multiple Aperture Systems
This tool models spatial diversity techniques and multiple-aperture receiver/transmitter configurations for improving reliability and performance of optical wireless communication (OWC) systems in turbulent and scattering environments. It enables simulation of independent and correlated fading channels, evaluates combining strategies (e.g., MRC, EGC, SC), and quantifies performance enhancements achieved through spatial redundancy. A vital tool for researchers and engineers designing robust FSO and UOWC links in variable environments.
