Comparison of probability of error performance for truncated Bessel and Bessel Gauss beams

In this thesis, probability of error and SNR performances of truncated Bessel and Bessel-Gauss beams in free space optical communication system were compared. Source beams were determined as truncated Bessel and Bessel-Gauss beam. Then, the simulation of propagation of these beams was simulated in MATLAB. This simulation was performed by using random phase screen approach. Random phase screen was used as a model of the turbulent atmosphere in reality. Data symbols were transmitted to receiver side through the random phase screen. To reach the probability of error of this communication system, error counting was applied. By this way, performance comparison of the beams was derived and relative plots were located in this paper.
