The Experimental Research Of 1553B Wireless Network Based On IR-UWB

With the increasing demands for exchanging data in or between electronicsystems, reliable wireless interconnection between spatially separated devices is ofgreat interest recently.Ultra Wide Band (UWB) technology, especially the Impulse RadioUWB(IR-UWB), has become a hot topic of wireless technology, because of itsadvantages in short distance communication. 1553B is a reliable and real time databus widely used for high reliable interconnections between devices, but its applicationis restricted by using special cables.Having studied the technical characteristics of both IR-UWB and 1553B protocol,we found that it is possible to utilize UWB as the physical layer of 1553B protocol toprovide a solution for the reliable wireless interconnections between terminals.In order to testify the feasibility of this solution, we have carried out a wirelessdata exchanging experiment between 1553B terminals using IR-UWB. The results ofthe experiment have indicated IR-UWB is a potential physical medium for 1553Bwireless network.The research work of this paper has probed the feasibility of building a wireless1553B network utilizing IR-UWB as the physical layer, and has obtained somepromising results, which are beneficial for further studies.
