Abstract
This paper reports on the system concept, design and hardware analysis of a wideband transmultiplexer implemented with acousto-optic technology. The objective of the study was to determine the feasibility of constructing a unit that would convert a 20 MHz analog IF band of 5000 contiguous frequency multiplexed 4 kHz channels to a time division multiplexed format. The principal advantage sought over purely digital technology is small size and low power.
