Abstract: Due to consistently
growing demand for high data rate and high speed wireless access, free space
optics has emerged as a next generation high speed wireless communication
technology.FSO system using multiple transceivers has several advantages such large link
distance and better bit error performance. In this paper, FSO system using
spatial diversity technique and three ways of optical amplifications are
proposed. Performance Analysis of different amplification systems for various
weather conditions is carried out. Parameters such as received power, BER and
maximum achievable range are analysed. Multiple transmitter/receiver
combination integrated with various amplification types enhances the
performance of FSO system.
