Abstract :
Integrated avionics architecture is desirable for the next generation aircraft. In this regard we have proposed a data bus network for small aircrafts to meet the demand of bandwidth, data transmission rate, immunity to electromagnetic interference, weight and size. In this paper a brief overview is given on present data bus protocols and a comparison is shown between them. Along with this, this paper compares between copper co-axial cables and optical fiber and proposes a data bus network for small aircrafts, its word format, data generation processes and reasons behind choosing such a network are also discussed. It also calculates different technical specifications and related findings through commercially available software, MATLAB to show the optical fiber based network as a reliable and modular system for use in aircrafts.
