Abstract

We consider space radiation effects in components and subsystems for fiber based satellite data links and busses. These busses are designed for telemetry and command as well as payload applications spanning data rates from Mbps to Gbps. We emphasize measurements of single particle transient effects in optoelectronic components as they impact the bit error ratio. Test data are analyzed to demonstrate the bit error rate dependence on the particle energy and particle flux as well as receiver electrical characteristics. We conclude that the many advantages of fiber based data links and busses will soon be made available for emerging satellite requirements to transmit data reliability at rates from a few Kbps into the Gbps regime.
