TELEMETRIX 106 RANGE DATA ACQUISITION UNIT (T106)
OVERVIEW
 The RT Logic Telemetrix® 106 (T106) provides a turnkey system for launch and test range data acquisition. The unit supports telemetry acquisition and command functions (RF through digital).

The T106 takes advantage of RT Logic’s family of Dynamic Digital Processors to provide reconfigurable signal processing. There are standard T106 configurations available to meet PCM, PCM/FM, and FM/FM range-system requirements.

APPLICATION
 Telemetry signal processing functions include RF downconversion, 70 MHz IF carrier demodulation, pre and post detection diversity combination, FM discrimination, subcarrier demodulation bit synchronization, and decoding (Viterbi/Reed-Solomon). Frame synchronization, data simulation, data archiving, and data replay can also be incorporated.

RT Logic’s digital diversity combination technique is unique in the industry. High-rate A/D conversion, combined with advanced signal processing techniques, results in a solution that requires minimal calibration. The T106 can provide combined video output, bit synchronized NRZ-L clock and data, or frame-synchronized data via network interface.

The unit can be configured with dual power supplies to address single point of failure issues.

IMPLEMENTATION
 The T106 system provides a range of solutions from baseband to RF in a single integrated platform. The system is based upon our family of digital reconfigurable processors that allow firmware-based algorithms to be downloaded to satisfy different missions. This results in a solution that can grow to meet future requirements without requiring new hardware investment. Whether your mission is PCM, FM, RF, or baseband, the T106 can acquire your data.
