ABSTRACT 

This course provides a very high-level introduction of basic telemetry concepts and components. The presentation begins onboard the vehicle under test discussing sensors, signal conditioning, commutation, modulation and transmission. It continues on the ground with antennas, receivers, data distribution, decommutation, processing and display. The tutorial includes additional concepts like forward error correction, telemetry over IP, IRIG 106 Chapter 10 and 11 recording and distribution formats as well as IRIG 106 Chapter 7 packet data over PCM.
