Ground telemetry solutions, receivers, SAFRAN, ITC

What Purpose?

To confirm vendor compliance of the Data Quality Encapsulation (DQE), interoperability among vendors and proper assessment of the Data Quality Metric (DQM) in accordance with the Test Methods developed by the RF Subsystems Committee of the RCC (Range Commanders Council).

What is DQM?

DQM is a metric ranging from 0 (very bad) all the way to 65,000 (error-free) providing a quality estimate on how good is the telemetry data received.

 

With who?

Most manufacturers from the Telemetry community were participating to include Lumistar Inc, SEMCO, Quasonix LLC, GDP Space Systems, NetAcquire Corporation, Summation Research Incorporation, AMERGINT Technologies…

 

The tests were witnessed by key representatives from the U.S. government test ranges and the Industry highlighting the importance for the TM receiver vendors to properly derive the DQM metric in order to facilitate the deployment of the Best Source Selector across the U.S. test ranges.

Best Source Selector
Cutting-Edge Technology

The CORTEX Best Source Selector (BSS) represents the ultimate solution for real-time telemetry source selection. When multiple antennas track the same airframe across diverse channels, BSS is your primary tool for precisely identifying the best Telemetry source.

This intelligent system streamlines the selection process by automatically singling out the top Telemetry stream.

It can handle a high volume of sources, often exceeding 16, utilizing a blend of signal quality metrics and other crucial criteria. With its extensive capabilities in path alignment and delay compensation, the CORTEX Best Source Selector ensures the selection of the optimal source, regardless of antenna locations or the nature of your range infrastructure.
