Optical communication system for military applications

Abstract

This article deals with the study of intercommunication systems used by satellites that use optical link and its ultimate goal is the construction of an optical receiver in a printed board. The optical receiver was represented by a diagram of blocks. The choice of components was made based on the advantages and disadvantages which have, each one being explained and analyzed. Taking into account the different options that can be carried out for each block, was chosen as the most suitable and beneficial to the entire set of components that the recipient will have. Throughout this article was made an introduction and explanation of each stage of the recipient, as well as of its components. To complement, tests were performed practical on each block, and sometimes the main component in specific to that same block. It is concluded that the modeling and preparation of optical receiver for low frequency, is able to meet all the objectives set forth, may equate this solution to a receiver capable of operating in a satellite in orbit of space.
