Abstract

Using near-axis approximation and quadratic approximation of average intensity, we develop a general formula of AOA fluctuation variance applied to the whole region and an analytic expression of the variance for a special condition of spheric wave propagation. Calculations indicate that the variance is related to the fresnel length of the receiving field as well as turbulent intensity, propagating distance, and receiving aperture.
