Bistatic optoelectronic communication systems: Field experiments in artificial and natural water reservoirs

Abstract

Results of field experiments performed with bistatic optoelectronic communication systems in artificial and natural water reservoirs in 2015 are discussed. The experiments were aimed at estimation of the communication quality from the communication error probabilities and their standard deviations. Results of the experiments assume possibilities of creating optoelectronic communication systems capable of effectively operating in water and complex media (water–atmosphere and atmosphere–water, including ice interface) with communication line lengths from several tens to several hundreds of meters.
