МАНИПУЛЯЦИЕЙ
В беспроводных системах и сетях отмечается высокий спрос на радиосвязь по оптическому каналу связи в свободном пространстве (RoFSO) с широкой полосой пропускания и высокой скоростью передачи данных. Такая связь обеспечивает такую же скорость передачи данных, как в волоконно-оптических системах, но при меньшей стоимости на её развёртывание. Системы RoFSO реализуются комбинированием радиосигнала (RF) с оптическим сигналом для беспроводных каналов в свободном пространстве (FSO). Предлагается моделирование системы с мультиплексированием поднесущих с амплитудной манипуляцией (SCM/ASK) для оптической связи в свободном пространстве. В системе Скорость передачи данных принята равной 1 Гбит/с. Электронный амплитудный модулятор настроен на радиосигнал 10 ГГц. К нему добавляются 100 каналов с частотным разнесением поднесущих частот на 10 МГц при рабочей частоте первого канала 60 МГц. Эти каналы поднесущих смешиваются с гармоническим радиосигналом с несущей частотой 10 ГГц в гибридном ответвителе со сдвигом фазы в 90o. Непрерывное лазерное излучение с входной мощностью 10 дБм и длиной волны 1550 нм модулируется сформированным радиосигналом в оптическом LiNb модуляторе Маха-Цендера на LiNb-кристалле. Выходной сигнал модулятора передаётся по разным оптическим линиям связи в свободном пространстве протяжённостью 300 ... 1000м под воздействием атмосферной турбулентности, определяемой структурной характеристикой флуктуаций показателя преломления. Система оценивается с точки зрения Q-добротности и частоты ошибок бит (BER) с использованием программного обеспечения Optisystem. Показано, что максимальная протяжённость связи при слабой турбулентности (С^ = 5 X 1 0 " 15 м" 2 /3) и BER=10'9 составляет 950 м, а при сильной турбулентности (С2 = 5 X 1 0 " 1 3 м "2/3 ) - 850 м.

EVOLUTION OF RADIO OVER FREE SPACE OPTICAL COMMUNICATION UTILIZING SUBCARRIER MULTIPLEXING / AMPLITUDE SHIFT KEYING
The high demand for increased bandwidth, data rate and quality in optical communication systems in modern applications. Radio over free space optics (RoFSO) is deemed a new design methodology over wireless systems and networks. This technique has to ensure data rates like ones presented by means optical fiber communication techniques in keeping with a portion of its arrangement cost. Such systems are implemented by combined radio signal (RF) with optical signal, which containing various wireless administrations and Free Space Optics (FSO) link.

Introduction. There have been many advantages of free space optical communication (FSO) systems or wireless optical communication, for instance large capacity, unlicensed system, excellent protection and minimal cost-efficiency of transmitting high data rates besides radio frequency (RF) signals with the identical size as optical fiber [1-6]. Though, it's a feasible technology that corresponding with point-to-point communication. FSO communication systems effectiveness is highly vulnerable to adverse atmospheric situations caused by fluctuations in the deflective index due to temperature inhomogeneities and changes in pressure.[4]. Due to variations in the refractive index via transmission signal along the path link, atmospheric turbulence affects variations (scintillation) in both the intensity and phase of the received signal [2].
Many different mathematical models have recently been suggested to explain this variation based on atmospheric turbulence in both weak and strong fading regimes in the optical channel, such as:
1) log-normal distribution;
2) gamma-gamma distribution;
3) negative exponential dissemination [4-7].
In addition, In addition, the analysis of the malfunction probability and the median capacity of free - space channels is evaluated, derived from the closed form expression for the malfunction probability and the regular capacity of communication systems over atmospheric turbulence-induced fading channels modelled by the distribution of lognormal and gamma-gamma with regard to turbulence influences [2]. It is proposed to simulate and compare the hybrid modulation technique namely PPM-MSK-SIM based on PPM and MSK subcarrier strength modulation. Additionally, theoretical analysis of the BER performance under lognormal turbulence model for an avalanche photodetector system [8].
In Conjunction with using the SIM-DPSK modulation method over the lognormal turbulence channel, the performance review of the free space optical communication system is proposed with regard to the misalignment effects. Likewise, the formulas for the average of BER and probability have been derived [9]. For the FSO framework with avalanche photodetector receiver, it is proposed to derive theoretical representation for the average BER of the SIM-BPSK modulation format.
In addition, under the influence of the gamma-gamma atmospheric turbulence model, the magnitude fluctuation of the optical signal is regarded [10]. The simulation studies of optical communications utilized subcarrier phase shift keying intensity modulation over atmospheric turbulence conditions. The bit error rate is derived for optical system using either on/off key or subcarrier PSK intensity modulation format [11].
In relation to our knowledge, a study of the optical communication method of radio over free space using subcarrier multiplexing / Amplitude Shift Keying was not carried out in previous papers. Therefore, the assessment of radio over free space optical (FSO) transmission at different free space links from 300 m to 1 km with 10 GHz radio signal is fulfilled in this paper. It is proposed to handle all this under atmospheric turbulences conditions (weak and strong) utilizing subcarrier multiplexer/Amplitude Shift Keying (SCM/ASK) is suggested. In addition, the method of estimation is explained in terms of the BER Q-factor and value.
Theoretical analysis. This section presents a brief overview of the Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK), optical subcarrier multiplexing (SCM), optical modulation and gamma-gamma distribution model turbulence.
A. Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK)

B. Optical subcarrier multiplexing (SCM)
Optical subcarrier multiplexing (SCM) [13] is a system through it numerous signals are multiplexed in the radio frequencies domain as well as used to modulate with the light signal to be transferred through a single wavelength [14]. Furthermore, this system considers a more sensitive to noise effect and more flexible for superior data rate diffusion in the field of optical communication to increase the efficiency of the bandwidth [15]. The basic scheme of SCM is demonstrated in fig. 2.

The electric signal is divided into two signals V1 and V2 with 900 phase shifts between them, mathematical expression for each signal as given in Eq. (1).

A pseudo-random bit sequence (PRBS) initiator involves the transmitter and generates the modulation signal. The NRZ pulse generator has been utilized as low speed electrical coded. When setting the 10 GHz radio signal in the electric amplitude modulator as a baseband radio frequency converter. In this case, the frequency domain is given by the modulation format for amplitude shift keying (ASK). On the other hand, the radio frequency signal is modulated with subcarrier multiplexing, involving the setting of the carrier generator at 100 channels of the 10 MHz spacing channel at the 60 MHz first channel operated and the 10 GHz frequency of the sinewave signal generator. The 900 hybrid coupler is provided with these combined signals. A 900 hybrid coupler breaches the input signal into two output with 900 phase shift in the middle of each other. After that, the subcarrier radio signals of the hybrid coupler are came to the tow arm of LiNb Mach-Zehnder optical Modulator which modulate and adjust electrical signal to optical domain with continuous wave laser source has the yield power 10 dBm, linewidth of 10 MHz and 1550nm wavelength. In free space link, the transmitted signals are propagated over various lengths from 300m to 1km under different atmospheric turbulence conditions (gamma-gamma distribution model), weak ( and strong C2 = 5 x 1 0" 1 3 m" 2 /3 ) . Signals are processed on the receiver side of the APD photodiode used to transform optical signal to electrical signal with a 5-degree receiver gain, 0.9 A / W responsivity and 10 nA dark current. Subsequently, the subcarrier radio signal is transmitted at 10 GHz frequency and 1 GHz bandwidth through the electric band pass Bessel filter configuration. Radio signal demodulated by AM electric demodulator set to 10 GHz frequency and 0.6 GHz cut-off frequency after filter.
