Abstract
Free Space Optical (FSO) communication systems are gaining popularity due to its tremendous speed, advanced capacity, cost effectiveness, secure and easy to deploy wireless networks. This technology has proven an effective choice for last mile applications and hard to reach areas where deployment of optical fibre links is not feasible. But FSO link is highly weather dependent and as signal passes through the atmospheric channel, the main impairments are the atmospheric turbulence, which induce fading and deteriorate the system performance. Delhi has a great potential for FSO communication because of its clear skies. Since there is no analysis for weather condition found in Delhi, this work provides analysis of typical Delhi weather condition ranging from heavy to light rain, fog and clear sky. The performance of FSO link is analysed in terms of attenuation and link length margin under different weather condition. The results are concluded to identify which atmospheric condition influences more on FSO link performance.
