A Novel Scheme of an Optimal Data Rate Transmission for Airborne Telemetry of Long Range Aerospace Vehicle

Abstract

Airborne telemetry data is inevitable during the development phase of an aerospace vehicle. With the availability of telemetry data the vehicle characteristics are evaluated and the vehicle objectives are achieved subsequently. During the trajectory path, the airborne telemetry system transmits vehicle data continuously and ground receiving station receives it. The availability of data at ground station is solely dependent on various parameters; primarily data rate, modulation, RF power, etc. In this paper, typical data rate of telemetry for long range aerospace vehicle is analyzed and an innovative scheme is proposed for optimal data rate transmission with multi-resolution of high speed image data for distributed telemetry system. The scheme is implemented on 25 nm ZYNQ CSOC of telemetry hardware and synthesized netlist is simulated, performance is evaluated and results verified on telemetry hardware.
