RCC DOCUMENT 119-06, TELEMETRY APPLICATIONS HANDBOOK (MAY 2006)

RANGE COMMANDERS COUNCIL RCC DOCUMENT 119-06, TELEMETRY APPLICATIONS HANDBOOK (MAY 2006). This handbook provides practical information about telemetry (TM) system engineering and is intended to be useful to both system designers and operators. The main topic areas discussed include parameter optimization for the best data quality, radio frequency spectral occupancy, and the relationship of theory to "real-world" telemetry problems. The book is organized into the following four chapters: 1. Introduction 2. Telemetry signals and noise 3. Telemetry transmitting system characterization 4. Telemetry-receiving system characterization This document is complemented by a companion series, RCC Document 106, Telemetry Standards, and RCC Document 118, Test Methods For Telemetry Systems and Subsystems, Volume 1, Test Methods For Vehicle Telemetry Systems. The policy of the Telemetry Group is to update the telemetry standards and test methods as required, being consistent with advances in the state of the art.
