"BER performance ofM-ary pulse position modulated communication systems in anisotropic non-Kolmogorov turbulent atmosphere", Waves in Random and Complex Media, Vol. 32, No. 2, pp. 936-946.1745-5030http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12416/5176We investigated the effect of anisotropic non-Kolmogorov atmospheric turbulence on the performance of the optical wireless systems whenM-ary Pulse Position Modulation (PPM) is applied to a Gaussian beam. The performance of the optical wireless systems that use avalanche photodetector at the receiver is evaluated in terms of the bit error rate (BER). The effects of the parameters, such as the anisotropy factors inx-ydirections, modulation order, data bit rate, equivalent load resistor, photodetector quantum efficiency, non-Kolmogorov turbulence power law exponent, beam source size, link length, photodetector gain and structure constant on BER of theM-ary PPM Gaussian beam propagating in anisotropic non-Kolmogorov atmospheric turbulence, are examined.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessFree Space OpticsNon-Kolmogorov Atmospheric TurbulenceAnisotropyPulse Position ModulationBit Error RateArticle32293694610.1080/17455030.2020.1807072
