Abstract

In this paper, the effect of jamming in a free-space optical (FSO) communication system that employs optical space shift keying (OSSK) is studied. The optical link suffers from saturated atmospheric turbulence (AT). Hence, the channel fading coefficients follow negative exponential probability density function (PDF). Along with additive Gaussian noise, the jammer, under consideration, is an additional source of noise, and jamming signals also suffer from saturated AT. Thus, the jamming channel also follows the negative exponential PDF. A multiple-input single-output (MISO) FSO system is used to mitigate the effects of jammer and channel fading. Explicitly, we employ a $2 \times 1$ MISO-OSSK system for analysis and derive a closed-form expression of bit error rate (BER) of the considered system. Moreover, the jammer’s effect is also studied numerically under the gamma-gamma (GG) fading channel.
