Abstract
Results of field experiments on the influence of atmospheric conditions and some instrumental characteristics on the quality of information transfer in a bistatic opto-electronic communication system (OECS) operating in the visible range of wavelengths are considered. The length of the atmospheric channel reaches 17 km. Radiation of a copper bromide vapor laser with a wavelength of 510.6 nm is used as a signal source. It is demonstrated that bistatic or over-the-horizon OECSs can operate under conditions of both cloudy and cloudless atmosphere. Average values and standard deviations of communication errors are estimated under various atmospheric-optical conditions considering variations of some characteristics of individual system units.
