The Application and Expectation of Optical Fiber Communication Used on Civil Aircraft

Abstract

Compared with traditional electrical communication, optical fiber communication has many advantages in signal transmission. It has the characteristics of wide transmission frequency bandwidth, low loss and strong anti-interference ability. Optical fiber communication technology has a wide application prospect in civil aircraft. This paper introduces the application of optical fiber communication technology in civil aircraft. At present, optical fiber communication is mainly used in civil aircraft weather radar, Enhanced Flight Vision system, inertial navigation system, integrated modular avionics system and so on. This paper also looks forward to the large-scale use of optical fiber communication technology in civil aircraft in the future. It can greatly improve the aircraft communication efficiency, reduce the weight of the aircraft and improve the available space of the aircraft.
