Abstract

A model of an optical communication atmospheric channel based on scattered radiation between the ground surface and an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is considered. Changes in the useful signal attenuation, the minimal energy per source pulse providing the stable communication, and the maximal data transfer rate versus the optical and geometrical conditions for communication channel generation are estimated by the Monte Carlo method. Based on the results, recommendations are formulated for the choice of optimal schemes of optical systems of communication based on scattered radiation with a UAV.
