Hybrid Time-Frequency Domain Frequency Offset Compensation Under GHz Doppler Shift for LEO Satellite-to-Ground Coherent Free-Space Optical Communication
Tiankuo Jiao, Hossein Kazemi, Harald Haas
Coherent free-space optical (FSO) communication is a promising solution for low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite downlink transmission. However, high orbital velocity introduces multi-GHz Doppler shifts that appear as a rapidly time-varying carrier frequency offset (CFO), which is a m…
