Abstract - High speed data transmission for long distance is
the main motive of today’s as well as for next generation
communication system. Inter-satellite communication
provides the superior result with Optical Wireless
Communication (OWC) technology. Duobinary encoding
technique provides the highly efficient result for long distance
communication with data security. In this paper, we designed
a system to communicate two or more satellites using
Duobinary modulation technique with Mach Zehnder
Interferometer (MZI). The performance of system is analyzed
by OPTISYSTEM 7.0 software for bit rate up to 100 Gbps for
8000-kilometer distance with transmitting power of 20 dBm
and result shown in the form of BER, Q-factor and eye diagram
obtained.

1. INTRODUCTION
High data rates with large coverage area is achieved by
optical wireless communication (OWC) system. In 1945,
Arthur C. Clarke was first author who gave the idea of
satellites. In March 2003, Artemis and SPOT4 was the first
Inter-satellite communication using optical link [1]. For
global coverage link established between satellites to reduce
recurrence. NRZ, AMI, Duobinary are the modulation
technique. In 1990s, duobinary encoding technique was
applied with optical signal. There are many benefits to use
duobinary encoding technique like high spectral efficiency
with improving channel capacity utilization. As we, analyzed
in previous paper, duobinary encoding technique provides
the superior result with diversity technique at high pointing
error. Thus, duobinary encoding technique is also used for
long haul communication. Radio frequency (RF) waves used
as conventional technique for communication purpose which
having some limiting issues like interference, fixed
bandwidth, license requirement and so on. Thus, for high
speed data transmission between different satellites which
revolve either in the same orbit or in different orbits OWC
provides the superior result. To improve the Is-OWC system
performance with global coverage different types of
techniques have been studied and analyzed by researchers.
To reduce the degrading issues beacon signal which is
transmitted from transmitter and receiver antenna for
getting the proper position of transmitter and receiver
satellites. Thus, optical beacon signal is one of the important
factors to reduce the limiting factor and for getting the
proper line of sight (LOS) [2]. Similarly, spatial channel-
based diversity technique also provides the excellent result
at 100 Gbps for 10000 km distance at large pointing error up
to 3 µrad with duobinary encoding technique [3]. While,
space and polarization-based diversity provide result at
6000 km for transmitting 7.63 data rate [4]. So, channel
diversity technique is also used for transmitting high speed
data at large distance to mitigate the degrading issues [5].
Polarization interleaving (PI) with AMI and NRZ modulation
technique also effective technique for transmitting large data
[6]. In this paper, we analyzed the performance of duobinary
encoding technique with Mach Zehnder Interferometer
(MZI) at different parameters of system. Duobinary encoding
technique is the method for high speed data transmission at
large distance. It provides effective and efficient signal in
compare to NRZ encoding technique [7]. Similarly, Mach
Zehnder Interferometric devices like switching, multiplexing,
modulators, or as optical filters used in different applications
purposes [8]. In this, MZI filter transmits the high-speed
information by removing unwanted optical domain signal
and enhance the performance of system. MZI optical filter
defined their frequency response in terms of magnitude and
phase of incoming signal which is modified by filter [9].
This paper further defined the section as follows: section II
defined the proposed system, section III discussed the result
at different parameters by using proposed model and section
IV conclude the paper.
