Abstract

A simple method is described for determining the performance of a free space optical communication link. The method can be used either in the system design (synthesis) mode or in the performance evaluation (analysis) mode. Although restricted to photo counting (e.g., photomultiplier tube or equivalent) based detection of pulse position modulated signals, the method is still sufficiently general to accommodate space-based, as well as ground-based, reception.
