Abstract:

INTER-PLATFORM COMMUNICATION SEAMLESS CARRIER-FORM TRANSDUCTION OPTICAL FIBER, FREE-SPACE OPTICAL, WIRELESS MICROWAVE DIRECT CONVERSION BETWEEN WIRELESS, OPTICAL-FIBER AND FREE-SPACE OPTICAL CARRIERS WITHOUT CONVERTING BACK TO BASEBAND SIGNAL COMBINED USE OF TIME MULTIPLEXING AND FREQUENCY MULTIPLEXING WAVELENGTH ROUTING WAVELENGTH TRANSLATION ALLOWS SEAMLESS CONVERSION BETWEEN OPTICAL FIBER NETWORK AND FREE-SPACE OPTICAL NETWORK INTRA-PLATFORM SIGNAL DISTRIBUTION, SWITCHING AND ROUTING - OF BOTH ANALOG AND DIGITAL DATA - FOR VARIETY OF MILITARY FUNCTIONALITIES - INTERFACING TO VARIETY OF PROCESSORS, DISPLAYS, SENSORS, WAVEFORM SOURCES Transparent to type of modulation multiplexing format CONTROLLER-BASED RATHER THAN CONTENT-BASED ROUTING AND RECONFIGURATION OPTICAL-WAVELENGTH BASED FRAMEWORK FOR MULTIPLEXING, SWITCHING AND ROUTING Makes efficient use cabling and connectors MIXTURE OF SECOND-LEVEL MULTIPLEXING FORMATS FOR NARROWER-BAND INFO RF-SUBCARRIER MULTIPLEXING, TDMA AND CDMA
