Advances in Packet Based Bi-Directional Telemetry Solutions

Abstract

Packet based bi-directional telemetry systems are being deployed on test ranges as well as commercial aeronautical/space systems. Multiple approaches have been developed each with their own set of capabilities and trade-offs. In this paper, bi-directional packet-based communications links used to transport data between test articles and ground systems are presented. Some of the current bi-directional telemetry systems are identified and compared. The comparison include the capabilities that they provide and the link methods that they employ.
