This document discusses telemetry, which is the automated collection and transmission of sensor data from remote or inaccessible sources to accessible data collection points. It describes several methods of data transmission including hydraulic, pneumatic, and electrical/electronic. It then discusses the basic components of a telemetry system including sensors, transmitters, receivers, and end devices. It provides examples of landline and radio frequency telemetry systems and describes modulation techniques used to transmit the sensor data wirelessly. Finally, it lists several applications of telemetry systems in fields like meteorology, oil and gas, space science, and more.

4. INTRDUCTION
Telemetry is the highly automated communication
process by which measurement are made and other
data collected at remote and transmitted to receiving
equipment for monitoring recording and analysis
5. Method of Data Transmission
The method employed for data transmission depend
upon the variable& distance over which data has
to be transmitted

(a) There is no physical link between Transmitting and Receiving
station
(b) The transmitter comprises a RF modulator (AM or FM type,
depending on the performance, bandwidth and cost considerations)
and an amplifier.
(c) The receiver comprises an amplifier and a demodulator (AM or FM
type as required to match the type of the modulator).
11. Telemetry System
Telemetry system:
Collect data at a place (say microsatellite)
Encode, modulate, and transmit the data to a remote station (say ground)
Receive the data (on the ground)
Demodulate, decode, record, display, and analyze the data

Analog Modulation
Modulation: baseband signal → RF waveform
RF waveform: A cos(wt+f) where w is the carrier frequency.
Amplitude modulation (AM): vary A with baseband signal
Frequency modulation (FM): vary df/dt with baseband signal
Phase modulation (PM): vary f with baseband signal
15. Multiplexing
When a series of input signals from different sources have to be
transmitted along the same physical channel, multiplexing is
used to allow several communication signals to be transmitted
over a single medium.
Frequency division multiplexing (FDM)
FDM places multiple incoming signals on different frequencies.
Then are they are all transmitted at the same time
The receiving FDM splits the frequencies into multiple signals again
Time division multiplexing (TDM)
TDM slices multiple incoming signals into small time intervals
Multiple incoming lines are merged into time slices that are
transmitted via satellite
The receiving TDM splits the time slices back into separate signals

IRIG standard:
Proportional bandwidth (PBW): peak frequency deviation of
the subcarrier is proportional to the subcarrier frequency
Constant bandwidth (CBW): the deviation is constant
