Abstract :
This paper describes the integration of a single fiber, full duplex, 500 Mbit/s telemetry system in an existing ROV, to upgrade the existing hardwire telemetry system. Benefits to ROV performance include: additional video channels, additional sensor suites, electromagnetic interference (EMI) free signal transmission, and improved ROV dynamic performance. The paper analyzes the requirements of the system and then provides a description of the architecture that best satisfies those requirements. Multiplexer and tether design issues are also addressed
