Flight application of optical fiber transmission on a Falcon 10 aircraft
Abstract
A device for measuring the current from a potential discharger uses optical fiber for digital transmission. The operation of the device mounted on an aircraft has been tested in flight. The first tests show that the signal-to-noise ratio is greatly improved over that of the conventional transmission system.
