Optical connection system for the bidirectional exchange of data between a central unit and peripheral units and an electronic sweep antenna comprising such a system
First Claim
1. An optical connection system for the bidirectional exchange of data for use with an antenna system having a rotary driven ariel integral with a plurality of peripheral processing units which exchange data with a central fixed processing unit wherein said connection system comprises;
- first optical fiber connection means coupled at a first end to a first radiating energy emitting member and a first radiating energy detecting member with each of said first memebers being integral with said central unit;
shunting mixing means coupled at one end to a second end of said first optical connection means; and
second optical fiber connection means coupled at one end to a second end of said shunting-mixing means, wherein said second fiber means is coupled at a second end to a second radiating energy emitting member and a second radiating energy detecting member with each of said second members being integral with said peripheral units.

Abstract
A system for connection by means of optical fibers for the bidirectional exchange of data between a fixed central unit and peripheral units integral with a frame driven with a rotary movement, this system comprising radiating energy emitting and receiving means situated in the fixed part, coupled by optical fibers forming unidirectional data exchange paths to a single mixing fiber, itself coupled to optical fibers forming bidirectional data exchange paths coupled to radiating energy emitting and detecting means associated with the peripheral units integral with the mobile frame. Furthermore, the mixing fiber is split into two parts coupled together by a rotary optical joint.
