| 摘要 |
Embodiments of the concepts, systems, and techniques disclosed herein are directed to an optically powered, direct-sampling, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that provides fully formatted, serialized data for transmission over optical fiber from a remote location. Such a system and method of use thereof requires less electrical power, fewer components, and less complexity than previous systems and methods and achieves an all-optical-fiber implementation that provides complete electrical and electromagnetic interference (EMI) isolation for the remote ADC. These concepts, systems, and techniques simplify the overall remote sensing architecture by locating the ADC near the sensor and transferring pure digitized signals back to the processor. |
