01 · THE PROBLEM

What this project addresses

Optical links between high-altitude platforms must remain useful across changing received power, alignment conditions and detector operating limits.

02 · THE IDEA

System concept

Distribute reception across progressively attenuated branches and select a useful nonsaturated branch rather than relying on a single operating point.

03 · TECHNICAL APPROACH

How the research is structured

01Multi-branch receiver architecture
02Power and saturation modeling
03Outage analysis
04Monte Carlo verification

04 · KEY CONTRIBUTIONS

What the research contributes

  • Progressive attenuation strategy
  • Branch-selection model
  • Analytical outage framework

05 · WHY IT MATTERS

Engineering relevance

The project targets robust optical reception for aerial platforms subject to large link-distance and received-power variations.
