Derivation of the Foschini and Shepp's Joint-Characteristic Function for the First-and Second-Order Polarization-Mode-Dispersion Vectors Using the Fokker-Planck Method

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

Using the well-known Fokker-Planck method, this paper presents a standard way to find the joint-characteristic function for the first- and second-order polarization-mode-dispersion vectors originally derived by Foschini and Shepp. Compared with the Foschini and Shepp's approach, the Fokker-Planck approach gives a more accurate and straightforward way to find the joint-characteristic function.
