With increasing telemetry data rates, there is a need for faster Reed-Solomon and Convolutional on-board encoders than currently exist, both as self standing components and as integrated parts of future single chip telemetry systems. A radiation hard CCSDS Reed-Solomon and Convolutional Encoder (RESCUE) device has been developed along this line to meet current and future demands, being based on...

We describe a knowledge-based system which monitors TDRSS telemetry for problems in the momentum unload procedure. The system displays TDRSS telemetry and commands in real time via X-Windows. The system constructs a momentum unload plan which agrees with the preferences of the attitude control specialists and the momentum growth characteristics of the individual spacecraft. During the execution...

This paper presents a method to summarize massive spacecraft telemetry data by extracting significant event and change patterns in the lowlevel time-series data. This method first transforms the numerical timeseries into a symbol sequence by a clustering technique using DTW distance measure, then detects event patterns and change points in the sequence. We demonstrate that our method can succes...

This paper presents the preliminary design of the integrated stimulator and telemetry subsystems for a vestibular prosthesis to restore balance function. The work is part of the European project CLONS. The stimulator is designed to provide biphasic current pulses at specified amplitude, duration and rate to stimulate the semicircular canals in the vestibular system. Power and data transfer is p...

A simulation testbed has been developed that can be used as a tool for the development, implementation, and testing/verification of algorithms for airborne telemetry applications. This testbed utilizes both SOQPSK and OFDM for its modulation waveforms and LDPC for the FEC codes. It also uses several sets of published telemetry channel sounding data as its channel models. Within the context of t...

Due to the unique characteristics of highly dynamic airborne telemetry environments, TCP when deployed in such networks suffers significant performance degradation. Given the limitations of TCP, the AeroTP opportunistic transport protocol with multiple reliability modes has been developed to specifically address the issues posed by telemetry networks. In our previous work, the different modes o...

The viability of a radiofrequency (RF) telemetry channel for reporting individual neuron activity wirelessly from an embedded antenna to an external receiver is determined. Comparing the power at the transmitting antenna required for the desired Channel Capacity, to the maximum power that this antenna can dissipate in the body without altering or damaging surrounding tissue reveals the severe p...

The Formula Student is a racing competition, where Students can apply their skills in a practical manner. To support their endeavors, the team asked for a Telemetry System, which is able to handle up to thirty sensors to monitor the cars performance on the racing track. A first Telemetry System was placed on the car, yet only supporting up to 12 sensors. To change that situation a project is is...

We describe a virtual telemetry system that allows us to devise and augment dynamic data-driven application simulations (DDDAS). Virtual telemetry has the advantage that it is inexpensive to produce from real time simulations and readily transmittable using open source streaming software. Real telemetry is usually expensive to receive (if it is even available long term), tends to be messy, come...
