System Design
The fundamental element of a reliable, functional aerospacefiber optic application is the system design. It is the systemdesigners’ task to define the most efficient and cost effectivemethods of transmitting the optical signal, while providing aphysical layer with sufficient performance, reliability, andavailability for the application.
This document provides guidance on key areas of system design toachieve this goal:
• Section 3.0, System Definition, describes the systemrequirements information that is necessary to begin the process andthe topology options available to a system designer.
• Section 4.0, System Design, describes the process that asystem designer should go through when deciding on a network designor topology for a particular application including the procedure ofpower budgeting.
• Section 5.0, Component Selection, covers the actual hardwareoptions that the designer will need to select from.
Topology design, power budgeting and component selection arediscussed in that order but in reality system design is aniterative process and all three topics should be considered inparallel.
Additional sections provide guidance on system designconsiderations for aircraft installation and safety.
Information defined in the ASSC/120/2/81:Guide to Avionic Fiber Optic System Design document andEuropean Norm EN 4533: Fiber Optics Handbook hasbeen used extensively in the preparation of this document.
