This invention relates to a single frequency multi-transmitter telemetry system in which the transmitted data is retained when only one transmitter is transmitting and is discarded when more than one transmitter is transmitting.
Research programs in general aviation require the instrumentation of aircraft for test flight purposes. Space, weight, and power consumption are critical factors to be considered in the design of the system and instrumentation of the aircraft. Installation rapidness is also a design consideration in order to make the system cost-effective; primarily because of manpower and aircraft leasing costs.
It is the primary object of this invention to provide a telemetry system that will improve the test flight data availability, accelerate the installation process, and reduce data cost.
Another object of this invention is to provide a simple single frequency telemetry system that will deliver a substantial amount of data at low cost.
Other objects and advantages of this invention will be apparent hereinafter in the specification and drawings.
