Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the Bit Error Rate (BER) performance for the On-Off keying (OOK) modulated FSO links under weak turbulence condition and atmospheric attenuation. An analytical expression of the average BER in FSO communication system over log normal atmospheric turbulence channels is presented. The BER performance indicators are analyzed for different link characteristics. According to the simulation results, longer propagation distance with lower bit error rates could be achieved by increasing the transmitted power.
