Performance measurement of free-space optical 980 nm channel using multiple sets of environmental conditions

In this paper the performance of the free space optics (FSO) based communication link is investigated in hot and dry weather which is a common atmospheric condition in Pakistan. To measure the performance of connectivity at different day time, a portable test-bed setup is launched to describe the pe...
