We present the details of a design study to define the physical medium dependent components for a 64-terminal serial high speed data bus which meets the environmental requirements for a military avionics platform. The components must be either be qualified or be suitable for qualification testing. Variables associated with the transmitter, connector, optical fiber and cable, and access coupler are included. The effects of optical fiber size, encoding and decoding techniques, and various optical receiver design options are considered to illustrate the link margins which can be achieved. The resulting intertransmission dynamic range and required receiver operating range for a prototype system are used to develop a suitable optical receiver for the data bus. Experimental results are presented to support the study conclusions.
