Telescope arrays receivers are analyzed for deep-space optical communications between Earth and Mars. It is shown that data rates up to 14 M bits/sec are possible when Mars is at the farthest range from the Earth.
On Earth, a large aperture telescope is required to achieve the substantial data rates needed for a deep space optical communication link. However, not only are large telescopes very costly but, it is also very difficult to attain near diffraction limited performance with large apertures. An array of relatively smaller sized telescopes combined to form a larger synthesized aperture is a viable and...
