  • Abstract
    An optical FSK heterodyne communications receiver is proposed using a polarisation diversity technique which has a reduced level of complexity. The proposed receiver is constructed and tested at 100kbit/s and shown to have a maximum fluctuation in sensitivity of 17% over conditions of originally complete polarisation fading.
