The random fluctuations of laser beam propagation direction, caused by mechanical vibrations of transmitter's antenna and atmospheric turbulence, and also atmospheric extinction are taken into consideration. The algorithm allows calculation of laser source power and receiver's antenna radius and transparency when the Bit-Error-Rate (BER) and the parameters that describe communication channel status are given. The analysis shows the FSO power design problem has no solution for desired BER when the mechanical vibrations and/or the atmospheric turbulence are strong enough. Influence of the initial radius of laser beam and random fluctuations of laser beam propagation direction on possible solutions of FSO power design problem are also studied. Suggested algorithm is used to analyze atmospheric turbulence and mechanical vibrations effect on the FSO power design for different communication channel lengths.","PeriodicalId":372048,"journal":{"name":"2013 Conference on Microwave Techniques (COMITE)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121878429","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The directivity coupler consists of two substrates with a common ground plane and with microstrips situated on the opposite sides of the individual substrates.

Realizing the fact that data collection scheme from in-situ test beds for large number of vehicles is always expensive and time consuming, before being employed in large scale, such safety critical system should be tested narrowing down the gap between real circumstances and analytical models in a simulation platform. It is evident that underlying radio wave propagation models can comprise the validity of large scale vehicular network simulation results. Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) channels have higher dynamics due to rapidly varying topologies and environments which have significant impact on performance study of upper layer protocols and applications. In spite of the fact that few measurement based empirical channel models are present in the literature, they are not tested for large scale vehicular networks. In this study, we simulate suburban scenarios with hundreds of IEEE802.11p nodes in the OPNET simulation environment with more realistic channel models. The standard OPNET propagation model was replaced by Nakagami-m fading channel. For the sake of modeling, changing relative velocity attribute and separation distance, power spectrum and fading parameter-m were defined as function of velocity and separation distance respectively. Then statistics were collected to evaluate performance of physical and higher layers. Primarily we have found all the vehicles within the standard requirement for Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) range of 1 kilometer may not receive packets, which was also found in several earlier publications.","PeriodicalId":372048,"journal":{"name":"2013 Conference on Microwave Techniques (COMITE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133210334","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
