Abstract :
Free space optical communication between satellites networked together can make possible high speed communication between different places on Earth. We derive mathematical models of signal, noise, and approximate bit-error-rates of optical communication satellite networks as functions of the system parameters. The optical inter-satellite network model considered includes transmitter satellite, repeater satellites, and receiver satellite all networked together. From the analysis it is clear that even a low vibration amplitude of the satellite pointing systems decreases dramatically the network performance
