Application of a Linear Array in a Telemetry System

Abstract

Advances in integrated circuits have provided "single mask programmable" linear arrays that can be used to greatly reduce the volume requirements of the analog front end circuitry used in airborne telemetry applications. This volume reduction has led to telemetry systems with high levels of computational power and data acquisition in constrained spaces of irregular shape. In this paper we describe a specific application of a linear array to telemetry and discuss more general applications.
