Abstract
Free Space Optical (FSO) communication has become an important area for research with its numerous advantages over conventional communication systems. But with the set of advantages, there are some limitations which need to be addressed. Atmospheric conditions prominently affect the performance of FSO system making them highly susceptible to degrading effects of atmospheric turbulence and pointing errors. In this research paper, simulation of Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) modulated FSO signal is done for various turbulence conditions with and without pointing error to analyze the effect of turbulence on the transmitted signal. Parameters like Bit Error Rate (BER) and Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) are considered for simulation.
