Possibilities of PCM-Encoding

Abstract

This paper concerns with the various possibilities to encode space-signals for PCM-telemetry. It first reviews the logic design schemes to count binary events, to read out counted numbers, to compress data by floating point representation, and to convert analog signals with large dynamic ranges to binary numbers. Then, sane technical solutions, which are under development by DVL in cooperation with German industry, are described as examples. For these, heavy use of integrated circuits, monolythics, and hybrids was made.
