Optical wireless communication has undeniably revolutionized the satellite communication systems for use in the coming future. These OWC systems have become popular due to their high data rate performance in different weather conditions. This paper demonstrates a comparative analysis of RZ (Return to zero), NRZ (Non-return to zero) and Gaussian pulse generation methods by varying the levels of input power. The performance of Optical Wireless Communication system link is analysed for long distance transmission. The Inter satellite link has been modelled at a data rate of 10 Gbps for communication range of 200 kilometers.

Keywords: Optical wireless channel (OWC), RZ (Return to zero) pulse generator, NRZ (Non Return to zero) pulse generator, Gaussian pulse generator, Quality(Q) factor, Height of Eye diagram
