Description: This report describes the past year's research efforts (October 1993- September 1994) in the      design, development and construction of an optical processing system to directly digitize and      transport shipboard antenna signals to below deck. The electro-optical guided wave      analog-to-digital converter directly digitizes the antenna signals and is based on preprocessing      the signals with a symmetrical number system (SNS) to achieve both an 8-bit design and a 14-      bit design. The status of the hardware construction is described (8bit expected completion -      March 1995, 14-bit expected completion - July 1995). Using time division multiplexing      (TDM) techniques, an optical digital link transports the bits over fiber to the receiver below      deck.
