A data processing system includes a plurality of stations (412), first and second star couplers (416A, 416B) and first and second pairs of transmission lines (414A, 414B) associated with each station (412). The first pair of transmission lines (414A) is connected between its associated station (412) and the first star coupler (416A) and the second pair of transmission lines (414B) is connected between its associated station (412) and the second star coupler (416B). Each pair of transmission lines includes a first transmission line (418A, 418B) for carrying signals from its associated station (412) and a second transmission line (420A, 420B) for carrying signals to its associated station (412). Each station (412) includes a plurality of subsystems (424A, 424B, 424C), coupled by respective interface circuits (428) to both pairs of transmission lines. The system provides reduced transmission interference and high reliability. The star couplers are preferably optical but may be electrical or magnetic star couplers. |
