Zusammenfassung:The performance of modulating retro-reflector (MRR) free space optical (FSO) communication system has been studied before for various atmospheric turbulence conditions. However, the effect of pointing error (PE) on the MRR FSO communication system has not been studied yet. In this work, we investigate the PE impact on the MRR FSO communication system. Specifically, we obtain the probability density function (PDF) of the system in closed form expression regarding Gamma–Gamma turbulence channel and Rayleigh PE. Using this PDF, we derive the statistical characteristics closed form expressions of the received optical signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) including PDF, cumulative distribution function (CDF), moments and moment generating function (MGF). Relying on the obtained analytical results, we derive the system average bit error rate (BER), outage probability, ergodic capacity (EC) and amount of fading (AF) performances in closed forms. The closed form expressions are given in terms of Meijer’s G-function with the exception of obtaining the moments of the received optical SNR and AF in terms of elementary functions. For the given weather, PE and system conditions, we optimize the beam divergence angle to minimize the system average BER. Based on this, we suggest controlling of the beam divergence angle with the transmission distance according to the optimum beam divergence angle to improve the system BER performance. Finally we demonstrate the system performances according to the optimum beam divergence angle.
