The objectives of the Phase II work is to implement prototypes of several standard, off-the-shelf components for embedded and stand-alone ALE controller implementations. The first standard component proposed is the implementation of the tone encoder/decoder ASIC studied and described in the Phase I report. In addition, a standard board level component implementing the complete FEC front-end functions and a board level component implementing the complete ALE protocol function are proposed. The tone encoder/ decoder ASIC will be implemented first followed by the ALE front-end board and the ALE controller board. The software for the ALE controller board will be written in the DoD and Government- mandated Ada programming language.
