Research on Key Technologies of Detecting 1553B Avionics Data Bus Network

1553B avionics data bus network may fail due to vibration, temperature, humidity or human error. Therefore, the research on detection technology of 1553B avionics data bus network is an important subject. The key technologies are studied by analyzing the possible faults of the network, including four-wire DC resistance measurement method for conductors-to-shield short test and stub continuity test, equivalent impedance measurement of coupling transformer for main bus continuity test, polarity reversal test base on duty ratio measurement, attenuation measurement base on coupler model, and data path integrity test base on bit error rate calculation. Finally, the implementation methods of key technologies are researched, a portable integrated automatic test system of 1553B data bus network is constructed based on PC104 computer, and the hardware configuration and test process are especially designed.
