Abstract:Aimed at the effects of scattering range at different atmosphere height on ultraviolet single scattering link, considering air pressure, temperature and ozone thickness, the single scattering link model was corrected. Based on which, the path loss of ultraviolet communication setted at the height of 0~28 was calculated first. And then, relationships between elevation angle, divergence angle and communication distance were analyzed for the condition of the lowest path loss. Results show that the path loss is lower at the height of 0~15km and increases quickly at the height of 15~21km. Increase in both elevation angle and communication distance results in path loss rising. Under the condition of the lowest path loss, the elevation angle and divergence angle approximately show a linear relationship and there is no noticeable influence of communication distance on the relationship.
