The design, development, and testing of a short range (distances up to 100 ft) data communications equipment that utilizes a GaAs light emitting diode (LED) source is discussed. Data rates of 15 Mb/s are accommodated by a transmission terminal which consists of a line of sight (LOS) atmospheric portion and a fiber optic link. The system has an all weather capability, is relatively inexpensive and is intended for tactical military applications. This is the first attempt at developing a wideband optical communicator that has a similtaneous LOS and cable capability often needed in a tactical military environment.Sponsors
