ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic data bus that includes a multiplexer means for generating a plurality of optical signals and for intensity modulating each of the optical signals in response to a respective one of a plurality of input RF signals each at a different RF carrier frequency to provide a plurality of intensity modulated optical signals. A signal collection means combines the plurality of intensity modulated optical signals into a combined optical signal. A conducting means conducts the combined optical signal to a signal distribution means which distributes the combined optical signal to each of a plurality of output ports. A demultiplexer means extracts from a portion of one of the distributed combined optical signals an output RF signal substantially identical to a predetermined one of the plurality of RF input signals.
