Telemetry Standards. Chapter 3: Frequency Division Multiplexing Telemetry Standards

reportActive / Technical Report | Accesssion Number: AD1168815 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This chapter contains standards for analog frequency modulation (FM) data, specifically dealing with frequency division multiplexing and subcarrier channels. It is readily apparent that the use of analog data has been superseded by digital data to a large extent. Therefore, while the standards in this chapter are valid for any and all FM data still in use, further development pertaining to FM data is not supported or encouraged. In frequency division multiplexing, each data channel makes use of a separate subcarrier that occupies a defined position and bandwidth in the modulation baseband of the radio frequency (RF) carrier. Two types of FM subcarrier formats may be used. The data bandwidth of one format type is proportional to the subcarrier center frequency, while the data bandwidth of the other type is constant, regardless of subcarrier frequency.
