International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 23-26, 2000 / Town & Country Hotel and Conference Center, San Diego, California / This paper discusses the conversion of an existing telemetry system to the use of fiber optic
communications. The change was implemented to provide expanded capabilities of existing capital
assets with a minimum of investment. The paper reviews the design constraints and options considered
for a specific flight test program. The different options, such as fiber type, connector type, wavelength,
bit rate, and encoding method, are compared and discussed as to their applicability, reliability, and cost
effectiveness in a telemetry environment. The paper discusses the solution selected and the capabilities
of the final design, as compared to the initial system.
