Experimental evaluation of a differential GPS-over-fiber system for aircraft attitude determination

Abstract

We have presented a complete GPS-over-fiber system for aircraft attitude determination. The main conclusions are that in order to a achieve a fix of phase ambiguities in a time slot of 50 s, the maximum optical attenuation of the Base path must be less than 12 dB and that in a WDM system, the maximum optical power of a baseband signal must be below -16 dBm.
