New horizons through optical fibres
Abstract
The effect of fiber optic technology on communications systems used in the telemetry industry is examined. The broad requirements for telemetry systems communications are reviewed, and particular properties of fiber optic systems are examined in order to identify areas where fiber optics can readily be applied. The engineering limitations of current fiber optic systems are surveyed, and the use of currently available components in the construction of a point-to-point data link is considered. Finally, the way this technology will mature over the remainder of the decade is addressed.
