Technical Field

The application relates to the technical field of communication networks, in particular to an FC-AE-1553 network system for data transmission by adopting a coaxial cable.

Background

The FC-AE (fibre Channel Avionics Environment) standard is a set of upper layer protocols (Up Level protocols) defined for Avionics system features. These upper layer protocols select a portion of the underlying applications of the FC base protocol suite, dedicated to several aspects of avionics commands, control, instrumentation, simulation, signal processing and sensors, video data distribution, and the like.

FC-AE-1553 is short for Fiber Channel environmental Upper Layer protocol MIL-STD-1553B (military standard 1553B for Upper Layer protocol in Fiber Channel Avionics), and is used for realizing mapping of a traditional MIL-STD-1553B Notice 2 bus protocol on an FC-4 Layer of a Fiber Channel so as to realize communication with certainty in a command/response mode in real-time aviation application.

The existing FC-AE-1553 network mostly adopts a transmission mode of optical fiber medium. The network of the optical fiber medium has the advantages of long transmission distance, light weight, excellent electromagnetic compatibility and the like. However, in some extreme environments, such as high temperature scenes with flame spraying, it is difficult for fiber optic cables to reliably operate for long periods of time. The scheme provides a method for transmitting FC-AE-1553 protocol by using coaxial cable. The problem that the optical fiber cable cannot tolerate a flame high-temperature scene can be solved.

The FC-AE-1553 uses coaxial transmission much like the MIL-STD-1553B bus uses shielded twisted pair transmission, which uses copper wire as the medium. However, the rate of MIL-STD-1553B is only 1Mbps, while the rate of FC-AE-1553 is as high as 1.0625 Gbps. To ensure that the transmission error rate of signals at such a high rate is less than the E-12 level, the coaxial FC-AE-1553 needs to be realized by a scheme different from the MIL-STD-1553.

As shown in fig. 1, the coaxial FC-AE-1553 network adopts a star networking topology, that is, one FC switch is connected with a plurality of network nodes. A plurality of FC ports are provided on the FC switch, each port being connectable to a network node. The Network node may be a Network Controller (NC) or a Network Terminal (NT).

FIG. 2 is a link connection diagram of an FC-AE-1553 network system shown according to some embodiments of the present application. Each FC data transmission path contains a network node, a cable part, and a switch. The network node is connected to the switch by a pair of coaxial cables, divided into a transmit cable and a receive cable. As shown in fig. 2, the general structure of the network node includes a transmitting end and a receiving end, where the transmitting end of the network node includes: driver chip transmitters, transformers, sma (small a type) connectors (typically including a socket and a plug, preferably a socket on the device side and a plug in the cable); the receiving end of the network node comprises: drive chip receiver, transformer, SMA connector. Correspondingly, as shown in fig. 2, the switch includes a transmitting end and a receiving end, and the transmitting end of the switch includes: the system comprises an SMA connector, a transformer and a driving chip transmitter; the receiving end of the switch includes: SMA connector, transformer, drive chip receiver. The receiving end of the switch communicates with the transmitting end of the network node through a first coaxial cable (transmitting cable), and the transmitting end of the switch communicates with the receiving end of the network node through a second coaxial cable (receiving cable).

There are many factors that affect the signal transmission rate and transmission distance, and crosstalk between boards, line interference, and signal attenuation all have negative effects to different degrees.

In some embodiments of the present application, the FC-AE-1553 network system has certain restrictive requirements for wiring in order to achieve better inter-board electrical performance.

In some embodiments, the FC-AE-1553 network system has certain restrictive requirements on the layout.

The layout is characterized in that:

(a) the routing of the primary (coil) of the transformer (U26) meets the condition of routing characteristic impedance (the characteristic impedance can be 50 ohm, 75 ohm, 120 ohm and the like according to the circuit requirement), and also meets the condition that the axis signal of the SMA socket needs to refer to a complete shell ground signal (GND _ EARTH) of the SMA socket. The SMA socket shell ground signal (GND _ EARTH) is a complete continuous ground plane, namely the SMA socket shell ground signal is designed to be a copper foil plane and cannot be connected in a wiring mode. As shown in the area of fig. 5A/B. GND _ EARTH is a complete continuous ground plane designed to stably transmit signals at 1.0625 Gbps.

(b) At least 2 AC coupling capacitors are placed between the primary and secondary windings of the transformer (U26). The capacitors are respectively connected with a digital Ground (GND) and an SMA socket shell ground signal (GND _ EARTH), as shown in the area C/D of FIG. 5. According to the capacitor layout position and the capacitor number designed by the embodiment of the application, the transmission quality of the error rate smaller than the E-12 order of magnitude can be obtained. Wherein, the number of the capacitors can be more than or equal to 2.

The requirements for the transformer are: the transformer can work at 1.0625Gbps speed and can be adapted to a 50 ohm coaxial cable. Such as using the PULSE TM 1062.

The requirements for SMA sockets are: the insertion loss of the SMA socket is not more than 0.01dB at 1 GHz; not more than 0.02dB at 2 GHz. As shown in fig. 5, the SMA sockets are part of the areas labeled J15 and J16.

Requirements for coaxial cables: the insertion loss of the cable part is not more than 15dB at 1 GHz; not more than 23dB at 2 GHz. The return loss of the coaxial cable is not more than-15 dB at 0-2 GHz. The insertion loss control of the coaxial cable should be better than the curve in fig. 6.

The coaxial cable comprises an inner core and a shielding layer, the inner core is connected with the positive end of the differential signal, the shielding layer is connected with the negative end of the differential signal, and the insertion loss of the coaxial cable is not more than 15dB at 1 GHz; not more than 23dB at 2GHz and not more than-15 dB at 0-2GHz return loss.

The characteristic impedance Z0 of the coaxial cable is 50 Ω ± 10%.

The attenuation characteristics of the cable can affect the distance over which the signal travels. The length of the transmission cable is 70 meters, and the loss of the cable is not more than 0.21dB/m at 1 GHz; not more than 0.32dB/m at 2 GHz; the length of the transmission cable is 50 meters, and the loss of the cable is not more than 0.3dB/m at 1 GHz; not more than 0.46dB/m at 2 GHz; the length of the transmission cable is 30 meters, and the loss of the cable is not more than 0.5dB/m at 1 GHz; not more than 0.77dB/m at 2 GHz.

The insertion loss of the SMA connector is not more than 0.01dB at 1 GHz; not more than 0.02dB at 2 GHz. And after the SMA socket of the SMA connector is electrically connected, redundant pins are cut off. The height of the connector pin residue is less than 1.0 mm. The residual height of the connector pin has obvious influence on the signal quality, and the signal reflection caused by the stub can be avoided by controlling the residual height, so that excellent signal quality is realized. And further, the bit error rate of the FC-AE-1553 protocol transmitted by the coaxial cable is lower than E-12 under the high-speed condition of 1.0625 Gbps.

Compared with the prior art, the application has the following beneficial effects:

compared with FC-AE-1553 optical fiber transmission, FC-AE-1553 coaxial transmission is more resistant to high temperature and can resist the high temperature of 125-250 ℃;

compared with MIL-STD-1553 shielded twisted pair transmission, the method provides a high-speed transmission scheme, and the transmission rate reaches 1.0625 Gbps;

and thirdly, the distance of 0-70 meters at the speed of 1.0625Gbps is transmitted by the constraint design of a driving chip (transmitter and receiver), wiring, layout, a transformer, an SMA connector and a cable.
