  1. AERONAUTICAL TELEMETRY Darrell Ernst Gerhard Mayer February 2005

  2. Introduction • WRC Agenda Item 1.5 • The Aeronautical Telemetering Community • The International Consortium for Telemetry Spectrum • The ICTS Position • A Video about Flight Testing and Agenda Item 1.5

  3. WRC-07 Agenda Item 1.5 • consider the spectrum required to satisfy justified wideband aeronautical mobile telemetry requirements and associated telecommand above 3 GHz; • review, with a view to upgrading to primary, secondary allocations to the mobile service in the frequency range 3-16 GHz for the implementation of wideband aeronautical telemetry and associated telecommand; • consider possible additional allocations to the mobile service, including aeronautical mobile, on a primary basis in the frequency range 3-16 GHz for the implementation of wideband aeronautical telemetry and associated telecommand, taking into account considering d) above; • designate existing mobile allocations between 16 and 30 GHz for wideband aeronautical telemetry and associated telecommand,

  4. Future Data Rates Data rate for one vehicle “Prediction is hard, especially about the future”

  5. Implications for the Spectrum Bandwidth needed for one vehicle Current B/W Allocation = 215 Multiply data rate by efficiency factor for each modulation type: PCM/FM=2.4 Hz/bit Tier 1= 1.2 Hz/bit Tier 2= 0.8 Hz/bit

  7. Science Missions Requiring Wideband TM • Existing LEO-satellite data collection platforms only for narrow band data transmission (e.g. Argos, Orbcomm) available • Onboard storage capacity limited by space and weight, data compression & reduction of science data onboard critical • Data required on ground mostly in near-realtime Therefore: • High-resolution science instruments, like imaging sensors, spectrometers, carried as Balloon, Sounding Rocket or UAV- payload need wideband telemetry links to fulfill their future missions

  8. Telemetry Inevitable in Global Missions Platforms on balloon, sounding rocket and UAV required for In-situ-measurements & calibration of satellite and groundborne instruments Examples of important disciplines : • Geophysics Atmosphere, Land , Sea, Ice Research • Biology Animal behaviour & wildlife research • Remote Medical Supervision patient monitoring e.g. at expeditions („bush telemetry“)

  9. Science and Telemetry Goes Global… • Local changes of environmental parameters have a world-wide impact • Wide-area telemetry networks needed to collect data from e.g. remote field stations, balloons, buoys, sounding rockets, UAV • Specific ranges for launching, science observations and data collection worldwide available

  12. Time for the Cinema! Aeronautical Telemetry

  13. What is Telemetry? • Telemetry : The process ofmeasuring at a distance. • Aeronautical telemetry: Theprocess of makingmeasurements on an aeronautical vehicleand sending those measurements to adistant locationfor analysis Vibrations Velocities Flows Temperatures Pressures If it is ORANGE it is flight test measurement

  20. Techniques for Mitigating Spectrum Growth

  21. RESOLUTION [COM7/5] (WRC-03) Consideration of mobile allocations for use by wideband aeronautical telemetry and associated telecommand The World Radiocommunication Conference (Geneva, 2003) Considering a) that there is a need to provide global spectrum to the mobile service for wideband aeronautical telemetry systems; b) that there is an identified need for additional spectrum required to meet future wideband aeronautical telemetry demands; c) that there is also a need to accommodate telecommand operations associated with aeronautical telemetry; that there is a need to protect existing services, Noting a) that a number of bands between 3 GHz and 30 GHz are already allocated to the mobile service, without excluding the aeronautical mobile service, on a secondary basis; that any spectrum allocated to the mobile service above 3 GHz (to include aeronautical telemetry) is not a substitution for existing allocations used for aeronautical telemetry purposes below 3 GHz, the requirement for which will continue, Recognizing a) that there are emerging telemetry systems with large data transfer requirements to support testing of commercial aircraft and other airframes; b) that the future technologies and performance expectations for airborne platforms contemplate a need for real-time monitoring of large data systems with multiple video streams (including high-definition video), high-definition sensors, and integrated high-speed avionics; c) that the 2000 Radiocommunication Assembly approved Question ITU-R 231/8, titled: "Operation of wideband aeronautical telemetry in bands above 3 GHz", with the target date of 2005; d) that those studies will provide a basis for considering regulatory changes, including additional allocations and recommendations, designed to accommodate justified spectrum requirements of aeronautical mobile telemetry consistent with the protection of incumbent services, Resolves that [WRC-07/a future competent conference] be invited to: 1 consider the spectrum required to satisfy justified wideband aeronautical mobile telemetry requirements and associated telecommand above 3 GHz; 2 review, with a view to upgrading to primary, secondary allocations to the mobile service in the frequency range 3-16 GHz for the implementation of wideband aeronautical telemetry and associated telecommand; 3 consider possible additional allocations to the mobile service, including aeronautical mobile, on a primary basis in the frequency range 3-16 GHz for the implementation of wideband aeronautical telemetry and associated telecommand, taking into account considering d) above; designate existing mobile allocations between 16 and 30 GHz for wideband aeronautical telemetry and associated telecommand, invites ITU-R to conduct, as a matter of urgency, studies to facilitate sharing between aeronautical mobile telemetry and the associated telecommand, on the one hand, and existing services, on the other hand, taking into account the resolves above.
