[Ronja] Multiple receivers and transmitters

Back to skool boys?

Project title: Characterization 
									of MIMO Free-Space Optical Channels

In Free-Space Optical (FSO) communication, 
	information data is transmitted wirelessly using laser beams. Such links 
	have the potential to provide virtually unlimited bandwidth without the 
	expense of buried fibre optic cabling. Unfortunately, FSO link reliability 
	is highly dependent on atmospheric conditions such as turbulence, rain, 
	cloud, dust and fog. These effects cause fading of the received laser beam. 
	In typical FSO channels, a deep fade can cause the loss of millions of data 
	bits. Improvement in reliability can be gained by using multiple lasers and 
	multiple apertures to create a multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) FSO 
	channel. A comprehensive characterisation of this channel is crucial in the 
	future development of reliable and efficient FSO communication systems. In 
	this project, the student will be involved in a 1.5-2 km MIMO FSO laser 
	range experiment. This will include assisting with the setup and calibration 
	of laser experiment equipment, and the collection of channel measurement 
	data. The student will characterise the channel by fitting known statistical 
	distributions to the measurement data, and analysing the temporal and 
	spatial correlation of the channel

MIMO and FSO?  ehm...  
noooo.
This is only for RF with COFDM and guard interval 
pilots.
