Abstract: An apparatus and method for providing an isolated high-speed digital interface for communicating high-speed digital data within a vehicle. In architecture, the interface includes one or more input terminals and one or more output terminals. Each output terminal being associated with one of the one or more input terminals without any electrically conductive path existing between the output terminal and the input terminal, and instead the input terminal and the output terminal are coupled to one another by an optical coupling. The present invention can also be viewed as a method that can be broadly summarized by the following steps, providing at least one input terminal for receiving data and providing at least one output terminal. Wherein the output terminal is associated with the one input terminal without any electrically conductive path existing between the output terminal and the input terminal, are coupled to one another by an optical coupling.

Abstract: A communication system includes an optical transmitter which is differentially driven and an optical receiver that outputs a differential signal. The optical transmitter creates the differential drive signal from an input signal and delivers the differential drive signal to a laser. The differential drive signal is generated with a transformer and RF chokes for floating the laser above ground. The signal detected by the receiver is input as a differential signal to a transformer which then passes the signal through amplifiers and a filter. The optical communication system provides an increased spurious-free dynamic range which is well suited for RF signals and other analog signals.

Abstract: An optical network has an optical bus interconnecting a plurality of sources with a plurality of loads. Each source has a tunable laser for transmitting signals at a selective wavelength and each load has a tunable filter for receiving signals at a selective wavelength. As a result, through a single connection per node and a single bus, each source can exchange signals with any load. The optical network employs a passive optical interface device for routing signals between a node and a bus. The optical interface device provides balanced amplification of the optical signals throughout the network. The optical network is able to distribute RF and other analog signals to multiple nodes while preserving signal quality.

Abstract: An active sampler antenna capable of transmitting signals is disclosed. The active sampler antenna includes a first set of conducting surfaces, a second set of conducting surfaces, a power source, and multiple switches. The second set of conducting surfaces is located substantially parallel to the first set of conducting surfaces. The power source has two terminals, namely, a first terminal and a second terminal. The first terminal of the power source is connected to the second set of conducting surfaces. Each of the switches is connected between a respective one of the first set of conducting surfaces and the second terminal of the power source. The switches allows a defined amount and timing of charges to be delivered from the power source to the first set of conducting surface for signal transmissions.
