Abstract
In spite of exceptional advantages demonstrated by optical wireless
signals, alignment distortion from building sway or transceiver
displacement, make the development of corresponding high-speed links less
attractive. This paper investigates a fiber-bundled design providing limited
transceiver mobility. By placing three fibers horizontally behind a convex
lens, angular diversity is exploited. A modified scheme of switched
diversity is utilized to combine signals from various receiving fibers.
Coverage area, combiner processing load, bit error rate, and outage
probability served as performance criteria throughout the analytical and
simulation assessment. High bit error performance was achieved while
maintaining low implementation complexity over a turbulent fading
channel.
