Description
ABSTRACT: SA Photonics SA-HSDO system provides a cost effective way to increase data transfer rate of intercommunication cable links in legacy aircraft where the MIL-STD-1553 buses operate at 1Mb/s. Employing advanced OFDM signal modulation and LDPC forward error correction to combat severe frequency roll-off and reflection, the SA-HSDO is expected to sustain data rate from 500 Mb/s to 1 Gb/s. BENEFIT: Upgrading a legacy aircraft with new sensors and other avionics help boost its capabilities. These new equipment often require much higher data transfer bandwidth throughout the aircraft than what existing data bus can provide. Retrofitting a legacy aircraft with new high speed fiber optic or copper data cables incurs extremely high cost and long time. SA-HSDO enables significant cost savings by working with existing wiring. The same technology is readily applicable to home networking.
