The Impact of Wideband Multiplex Concepts on Microprocessor-Based Avionic System Architectures.
Abstract
This report explores the implications of fiber optic interconnections and intelligent (i.e., microprocessor-based) communication interface units on the architecture of distributed processing systems for future avionics applications. The study consisted of eight technical tasks: Task 1: Survey the F-15, F-16, F-18, B-1, Space Shuttle Orbiter, and AMST Data Multiplex Subsystems; Task 2: Identify Bus Bandwidth-Related Tradeoffs in DAIS, DP/M, GPMS, and HXDP Architectures; Task 3: List Typical Avionic Multiplex Subsystem Requirements; Task 4: Define Requirements Benchmark Scenario; Task 5: Design Candidate Avionic Multiplex Subsystem Architectures; Task 6: Evaluate Candidate Avionic Multiplex Subsystem Architectures; Task 7: Compare Selected Multiplex Subsystem with DAIS, DP/M, GPMS, and HXDP; and Task 8: Project Impact of Higher Interconnection Bandwidth and Intelligent Communication Interfaces on Future Avionic System Designs.
