Proposed Revisions to RF Sections of IRIG 106

Abstract

Revisions to RF Sections of IRIG 106. The RF sections of IRIG 106 Telemetry Standards have changed little over the last twenty years, although use of the VHF bands and higher data rates dictate a reanalysis of the basic assumptions underlying RF usage on both the sending and receiving ends of the telemetry link. This paper includes an annotated “work in progress” for inclusion in the 1992 version of the standards, and discusses the underlying philosophy for the proposed revisions, and cites more recent source materials than the current 1986 revision.
