Abstract
In satellite–ground laser communications, atmospheric turbulence in the link degrades the performance of the system, so it is very important to estimate its influence on the performance of the system. The bit-error rate (BER) is an important parameter to indicate the communication performance of the system, which is directly used to judge the quality of the communication system. Using the results of our two previous papers, we analyze the joint influence of Kolmogorov turbulence from the ground up to 6 km and non-Kolmogorov turbulence above 6 km on the BER. These kinds of turbulence are associated respectively with the uplink and the downlink propagation channels for the geosynchronous orbit satellite communication system.
