Abstract :
This paper presents a dielectric-ribbon based data-link which offers both multi-cast network capability (single transmitter broadcasting to multiple receivers) and robustness as it does not rely on electrical contact to support interconnection. The link was developed specifically for aircraft & spacecraft applications where interconnect reliability and lightweight cabling is more critical than high data rates.
