Optical Wireless & FSO Communication Simulation
✔ Simulating link reliability under varying atmospheric conditions and distances✔ Evaluating beam divergence, alignment errors, and power efficiency in FSO links✔ Optimizing transceiver design for high-speed and secure optical communication
Overview
This simulation tool provides a powerful framework for analyzing and optimizing Free-Space Optical (FSO) and Optical Wireless Communication (OWC) links under diverse environmental and system conditions. Users can evaluate link reliability, alignment precision, beam divergence, and power efficiency, while simulating real-world scenarios like atmospheric turbulence, weather effects, and transceiver placement. Ideal for both terrestrial and airborne FSO system designers.
Key features
