Phase Alignment With Minimum Complexity for Equal Gain Combining in Multi-Aperture Free-Space Digital Coherent Optical Communication Receivers

Digital coherent combining (DCC) technique can increase the free space optical signal collection area by combining the signals received by an array of small apertures in a coherent manner. To realize DCC the different versions of signals must be aligned in phase by the digital phase alignment algori...
