Description
Summary:We define a new wavelet transform that is based on a recently defined family of scaling functions: the fractional B-splines. The interest of this family is that they interpolate between the integer degrees of polynomial B- splines and that they allow a fractional order of approximation. The approximation can determine noise in communication signals and help in signal reconstruction and channel estimation in MIMO receiver system. In free space optical communication links, the turbulent atmospheric channel causes fluctuations in both intensity and phase of the transmitted optical signal which degrades their performance. In order to make free space optical communications commercially viable, there is a need for characterizing the atmospheric effects on the received signal statistics, and possibly correcting for the signal degradation using physical optics principles and advanced real-time signal processing techniques. As part of this work, we have constructed an experimental free space optical link over 100 meters so as to characterize the effects of inner-scale and outer-scale turbulence effects, and used it as the platform for carrying out the above objectives. Through these techniques, we have demonstrated bit error rate (BER) reduction and propose to estimate channel accurately.
